Little Eagles 16 Apr- 7 May. Yuri Gagarin's all over the magazines lately, but leading Soviet engineer Sergei Korolyov, caught between a Soviet bloc and a harsh space, is an equally interesting story.
The Stock Da'Wa, running 14 Apr- 14 May. Directed by the brilliant Kathy Burke and written by David Eldridge. Paul returns to the town of Stock after 20 years and the veneer of friendship he stands on with his mates collapses into a writhing pit of secrets and resentment. A black comedy.

Waterloo Station
Hamlet and The Seagull, 11-16 April. The Factory, following a recent appearance at the V&A, take their flagship shows to the Rose.

Readings of his poetry, his children's radio play of Noah's Ark, and

Steamboat Bordello, Tower Pier,
The Mad Hatter's Boat Party 1 May. This was meant to happen 13 Mar, and while this is April's listings I'm mentioning it now so folks can book. Dressing up is not compulsory, but if you manage somehow to come as a sexy dormouse or a flamboyant flamingo, or a leather and chains Walrus I'm sure you'll make new friends.
Kings Head Theatre, 115 Upper Street, Islington, box office 0844 209 0326,, Highbury

Moonlight, 7 Apr- 28 May. A dying man looks back over a life of fears, regrets, and the estrangement of his sons, but takes comfort in his wife Bel and daughter. Sometimes distance is the only way to get close to your family, because when you're in the room together a chasm opens up bigger than any bottomless ocean. One of Pinter's later plays, I don't remember if there is any political angle to it. Just a rumination of life and loss.

The Mousehole Cat, running until 3 Apr. An old fisherman and his cat set out on a dangerous sea to fish for their starving village. The Tempest, 9-15 Apr. In collaboration with the RSC, beautiful puppets (Caliban looks like a gorilla of the

My Name is Rachel Corrie, 5-30 Apr. In 2003 American activist Rachel Corrie was killed by an Israeli army bulldozer while protesting the demolition of a family's home in Palestine. A dramatisation of her diaries, edited by Katherine Viner and Alan Rickman.
Lines, running 5-30 Apr. The death of Ian Tomlinson, killed by a policeman during the 2009 G20 protest while heading home from work was made into a play later that year. However, the show fell apart and the cop who killed Tomlinson was not charged as three coroners, including one hired by the accused, declared that Tomlinson died of high cholesterol and booze. No, really. The Director of Public Prosecutions also claimed Tomlinson was bitten earlier by a dog, which couldn't have helped. A dark comedy based on a travesty.
Bridewell Theatre, Bride Lane off Fleet Street, 020 7353 3331, Blackfriars Station.

Old Red Lion Theatre, 418 St John Street, Finsbury, 020 837 7816. Angel Station.
One Flea Spare, running until 16 Apr. The waves of Black Plague that ravaged mediaeval Europe must have seemed like a real-life 28 Days Later, when your next door neighbour was potentially as threatening as any zombie, even though it was the fleas doing the biting. In One Spare Flea a rich couple are coming to the end of their 28 day quarantine as suspected carriers, when a sailor and young girl
come crashing into their home and they must all spend another month
together wondering if they're going to die. REDFest 19 Apr-14 May. New

Frida's Room by Melanie Wilson, You Only Live Twice, (But Die Once) by Kazuko Hohki, The Magical Number Seven by David Rosenberg, A Game of You, by Onterend Goed from Belgium, The Pleasure of Being: Washing, Feeding, Holding by Adrian Howells, who is apparently recreating my favourite cheap hotel experience, and Rotating in a Room of Images by Lundhal and Seitl.

Online Courting, 12-30 Apr. Tom and Geraldine are looking for love on the Web but there are armies of virtual-relationship spiders out there spitting poison and bundling broken hearts in silken wrapping for future meals.

new material.

Our Style is Legendary, running until 2 Apr. Growing up in 1980s Nottingham, running around the forest shooting arrows, wearing nothing but dirty old dish cloths and masks made out of tissue boxes and feathers. Thrill Me: The Leopold and Loeb Story. Fascinating tale of two rich, brilliant, Nietzschean young men executing what they thought was a perfect crime. A musical by Stephen Dolginoff.
Courtyard Theatre, 40 Pitfield Street, 020 7729 2202, Old Street Station.
Richard III, 5-24 April. Evidence suggest the last Plantagenet wasn't a hunchback, didn't usurp the throne and probably didn't kill the kiddies. But what fun would that be? Shakespeare's Richard makes a good case that character assassination is brilliant if the end result is one of theatre's great monsters.
New Wimbledon Theatre Wimbledon,
Wimbledon Station
Sally Morgan- Psychic Sally 2 Apr. Morgan and her magic rainbow shirt reach over to the other side and bring back a steaming pile. At the end of her bumph is a legal disclaimer stating in legalese that if you go insane during her show it's your own fault. And where else but the Wimbledon would you have the Chuckle
Brothers spoofing Harry Potter with ??Barry Potty and His Full Blood Brother
Paul,?? 13 Apr, followed immediately by In the Flesh Pink Floyd Show 14
Apr, and then Thomas the Tank in Thomas and Friends, 16-17 Apr? I love
this venue.

Tara or Under the Weather, 8-9 Apr. Work-in-progress by Quatre Mans Theatre about escaping reality. Little Pieces of Gold, 18 Apr. Four brief plays by new writers and directors. The future of theatre in snippets. There is also the usual wealth of comedy folks gearing up for the various Fringes.

Terminus, running until April 16. Epic fantasy of Irish angels, Celtic devils, lovers, killers and three Dubliners caught in the middle. The Return of Ulysses running until 9 Apr. Mythology is the big thing this Spring. I am the Wind 26 Apr- 21 May. From French film director Patrice Chéreau (Le Reine Margot). Two lads on a bender push their little boat out to sea and are soon lost in a fog and more myth. At least they thought to bring some booze with them. And some food, very important when you're drinking, health and safety.
Diorama Theatre 15-16 Triton Place, box office: 0844 2090 344, Great Portland Street, Warren
Street Stations.
Wife to James Whelan, 5-30 Apr. The lost play of Irish playwright Teresa Deevy receives its British debut. James left Kilbeggan and his true love for a career in Dublin, but now he's back to find a wife. Is his old girlfriend Nan still there? Written 70 years ago, before it was only a 40 mile coach ride to visit from time to time.
Tabard Theatre, 2 Bath Road, Chiswick, 020 8995 6035, Turnham Green Station. Sloane Square, South Kensington Stations.
A Woman Alone, until 16 Apr, written by Franca Rame and Dario Fo, starring Daniela Lavender. A woman trapped at home by her tyrannical husband seeks escape in a love affair with a young boy. Russell Howard's Good News, every Sunday until 1 May. Be the comedy guinea pig for Howard's new material as he gears up for another season of this show he does. As opposed to being tragedy guinea pigs. I had two tragedy hamsters once. The bloody scene is still burned into my 7-year-old brain. Ping, strewn across the wood chips, disemboweled, partly eaten. Pong, quivering behind the treadmill, his mad eyes staring.
Cellar Door, Zero Aldwych, 020 7240 8848,
Various evenings of classy filth, and high tea with sultry tea ladies. This tiny venue needs to be seen to appreciate the living conditions of WWII U-boat sailors, crushed together in a stifling tin can lined with mirrors, a piano in the hatch, a disco globe banging their heads, the frosted glass toilets confusing them, and sexy women sprawled everywhere, singing.
Lion and the Unicorn, 42-44 Gaisford Street, 020 7284 0766, Kentish Town Station.
At night, the wolf hound roams a dark work site, sniffing. Shows resume in May.
Shunt, 42-44 Bermondsey Street, 020 7378 7776, London Bridge Station.
Closing the doors on their warehouse venue, the final evening will be 16 Apr, so take this last chance to see. No doubt they will be back soon somewhere else.
WEST END
Apollo Theatre, Shaftesbury Avenue Piccadilly Circus Station.
Blithe Spirit, 2 Mar- 18 Jun. The incomparable Allison Steadman in Noel Coward's supernatural bit of nonsense. Yes, Prime Minister. Sir Humphrey Appleby is back in a new stage version of the television series. It'll be hard to compete with modern political satire, The Thick of It, but written by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn there's a possibility. The speed with which politics moves, these days, however, means the plot revolving around a questionable foreign minister from Kumranistan seems both timely and dated.
Vaudeville Theatre, 404 Strand, 0844 579 1975, Covent Garden, Charing Cross Stations.
In a Forest Dark and Deep, until 4 June. Starring Matthew Fox (LOST) and Olivia Williams (The Sixth Sense) as Bobby and Betty, competitive siblings clearing out an old cottage in the woods.
Wyndham Theatre, Charing Cross Road, 020 7482 1593,
Clybourne Park, opened 28 Jan. In the late 50s the first black family moved into cozy Clybourne Park and “lowered” the neighbourhood for the middle class white living there. Now a young yuppy couple are building a monster property. A clever, satirical connection between race and property values.
St Martins Theatre, West Street, 020 7836 1086, Covent Garden, Leicester Square Stations.
Don't Shizzle My Pizzle, iz Ickle the Fizzle. Attempting to "get with the kidz", this production in Twitter uses emoticons for actors and pictures of kittens for set dressing. So leave your phone on. The plot concerns the world's miseries sprouting from men's sexual insecurity and need, from childhood, to
express a "will to power" and "expression of consequence in a short span of life" by effecting visible change through killing. "Can I Haz WMD?" says :-( while two kittehs in a bath enjoy a fart. Tony Blair will be a guest speaker next week, raffling off a clutch of new Arabian Sand kittens and a complete set of steak knives to raise money for his eventual legal defense. Also playing, The Mousetrap.
National Theatre, South Bank, 020 7452 3000, Waterloo Station.
Greenland, Rocket to the Moon, London Road, exploring the repercussions of the serial killer Steve Wright using the vocal inflections of recorded Ipswich residents, War Horse…
Garrick Theatre, 2 Charing Cross Road, 0844 579 1974, Leicester Square Station.
The Hurley Burley Show, running until 1 May. Featuring Miss Polly Rae and the Hurley Burley Girls, this promises to be a "contemporary burlesque revue" but with the productionvalues the Garrick can afford, this might be a throwback to the big money productions of the 30s.
Jermyn Street Theatre, 16b Jermyn Street, Piccadilly Circus Station, 020 7287 2875,
The Kissing Dance, until 23 Apr. A musical version of She Stoops to Conquer by Howard Goodall and Charles Hart. With a cast of thirteen in the cozy (tiny), quaint (odd) Jermyn, the show will have to flow off the stage into the audience's laps. A sweet and strange little venue.
Noel Coward Theatre, St Martins Lane, 0844 482 5140, Leicester Square Station.
Million Dollar Quartet, opened 28 Feb. Sun Records sings.
Above the Stag Theatre, 15 Bressenden Place, 020 8932 4747, Victoria Station.
My Beautiful Laundrette, until 17 Apr. Omar runs his dodgy uncle Nasser's laundromat, with help from his old boyfriend, an ex-skinhead named Johnny. Cleveland Street, 26 Apr-29 May was meant to be ATS's last show, but they are now offering a remount of Blink in June and Sleeping Beauty in Nov. A reprieve?
Soho Theatre, 21 Dean Street, 0870 429 6883, Tottenham Court Road Station.
Re-Charged, until 9 Apr. Three new short plays, Dancing Bear bySam Holcroft, That Almost Unnameable Lust by Rebecca Lenkiewicz, Fatal Light by Caroline Steinbeis. Sex Idiot 6-16 Apr. Bryony Kimmings, the supremely stylish cabarista, shares her recent discovery of owning a sexually transmitted disease, which perhaps these days have the social stigma of an 18+ pokemon. Using enough glitter to pave a shiny road to the moon, Kimming traces her sexual history
to find the father with humour and great, clunky honesty.
Coliseum Theatre, off Chandos Place, box office 0871 911 0200, Leicester Square Station.
Return of Ulysses until 9 Apr, in collaboration with the Young Vic. Les Saisons Russes du XXI Seicle 12-17 Apr. The Diaghilev Festival presents three spectacular myths/fairy tales continuing what seems to be the theatrical theme this Spring of mythical tales: The Blue God and Firebird, Thamar and Scheherazade and a smorgasbord of Le Pavillion d'Armide, Bolero and L'Apres Midi d'un Faune. The best seats are £55, but they also have balcony seats for a tenner. And then you can go to the Chandos and drink cheap, so.

We know this because he is now doing a UK tour teaching everybody else how to win lotteries. Soon, we will all win lotteries and jackpots will be worth about the price of a banana.
