📌 **What You’ll Learn**:
Inter Olya
Rosamund Pike rightly won an Olivier Award for her troubled turn in playwright Susie Miller’s searing legal drama – now a court judge, now with her karaoke pals, now pounding the ironing board in front of a party, now facing a family crisis. It’s a breathtaking performance on both counts, and Justin Martin, a master of tension building, directs with familiar flair. On the NT at home from July 7.
Summerfolk
Also from NT at Home: Sister playwrights Nina and Musa Rehn adapted Maxim Gorky’s sprawling 1904 picture of indulgence and infidelity at a summer cottage. Robert Hastie’s production unfolds on Peter Mackintosh’s towering timber set. Available from 7 July.
Paddington: The Musical
Tom Fletcher’s songs are as sweet as orange sandwiches, and you can now enjoy the original recording of the hit musical at the Savoy Theatre. Highlights include the chaotic “Don’t Touch That,” in which Paddington makes blunders around the Brown house, and Victoria Hamilton-Barrett’s treacherous “Pretty Little Dead Things” (“woo-ooh!”).
After Jimmy Valentine
A 1903 short story by O. Henry is the source material for this new 18-track musical audiobook by Jeff Flaster, starring Hadley Fraser as a jewel thief and Kerry Ellis as the detective tracking him. Available from Audible.
Black comedy
Peter Shaffer’s 1965 blackout comedy has a bright conceit: glowing lights are used to convey total darkness and vice versa. The revival of Caroline Steinbeis, starring Joe Bannister as a master sculptor, runs at Richmond’s Orange Tree Theater through July 11, then becomes available on demand July 14-17.
Midnight Spirits
Filmed in the massive Palace of the Popes at last summer’s Avignon Festival, Caroline Karlsson’s choreography sparkles like the theatrical sculptures of Jean-Michel Othoniel – and the music of Philippe Glass and René Aubry – in this captivating production led by Hugo Marchand and Caroline Osmont. On Arte.TV.
The magic of dancing
Here’s a six-hour dance masterclass from top teacher, Margot Fontaine. Filmed in 1979, this great ballerina series includes interviews such as Marie Rambert and features a complete performance of Frederick Ashton’s Marguerite and Armand, performed by Fontaine and Rudolf Nureyev. On BBC iPlayer.
Intimacy
An actor turned to a new job as an intimacy coordinator on a movie shoot on a Greek island, brings back painful memories in this eight-part audio drama written by Lena Headey, who also plays the title role. There is an excellent cast including Hannah Waddingham, Maisie Williams, Alison Steadman and Tom Goodman-Hill. On BBC Sounds from 22 July.
