M hOLLANDeR, Freddie Fox, Clare Foster, my Morgan, Peter McDonald, Forbes n, Sarah Quist and Tim Wallers, who are the superb ensemble starring in the sparkling revival of Tom Stoppard’s comedy Travesties, about artists and revolutionaries in pre-WW1 Zurich. Patrick Marber directs the play and worked closely with Stoppard on revising the text. The show’s running at the Menier Chocolate Factory in Southwark. EMILY WATSON (pictured, right), Anne Marie Duff (far right) and Sam West, who have joined Saoirse Ronan and Billy Howle in director Dominic Cooke’s film based on Ian McEwan’s novella On Chesil Beach. Ronan and Howle play the young couple Florence Ponting and Edward Mayhew, whose marriage is imperilled because of sexual misunderstandings. Well, it is set in 1962, and violinist Florence has little clue about the mechanics of her husband’s reproductive apparatus. The book’s a fabulous study of sex and class. Watson and West will play Florence’s upwardly mobile parents; while Duff has been cast by Cooke and producer Elizabeth Karlsen as Edward’s ailing mother. It’s a great cast. Karlsen met with Ronan before her last film, Brooklyn, garnered her a second Oscar nomination. And Howle is a real star in the making — spotted early on by Simon Godwin at the Bristol Old Vic and then by Richard Eyre for his production of Ibsen’s Ghosts at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. Howle has already shot the film adaptation of Julian Barnes’s novel The Sense Of An Ending.

There are several other shows circling the Piccadilly, like sharks, ready to move in if Neverland never goes there
