Zoë’s hugely acclaimed Stevie transfers to Hampstead Theatre

21 November 2014 23:59

Whether you saw Zoë as quirky poet Stevie Smith at Chichester's Minerva Theatre earlier this year or have yet to witness her powerhouse performance, you are sure to find this news exciting: Stevie transfers to London’s Hampstead Theatre from March.

The news was first announced late last night by the Daily Mail’s entertainment columnist, Baz Bamigboye, and has been widely reported in the performing arts press today. Articles appear in The Stage, Official London Theatre, Whatsonstage.com and LondonTheatre.co.uk. You can also read the theatre’s own announcement about Zoe’s ‘highly anticipated return’ to its main stage, where she last performed in 1994's Dead Funny.

Zoe won rave reviews when Stevie opened the prestigious Chichester Festival 2014. In the Guardian’s words, ‘Zoë Wanamaker is so perfectly cast in Hugh Whitemore's play about the life and work of the poet Stevie Smith that you don't feel so much that she's acting as simply channelling the mid-20th century poet and novelist’. Now Zoe looks set to take audiences in the Capital by storm too.

Stevie is scheduled to run at Hampstead Theatre from 6 March to 18 April 2015. Priority booking for Friends of the theatre opened today; public booking opens on 28 November. For details and to book tickets, please see the theatreÂ’s website.
