Denzel Washington won a Tony Award for his performance as conflicted patriarch Troy Maxson in August Wilson's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama Fences; now Brit Lenny Henry will attempt to make his own mark on the role, but across the pond, when the the Theatre Royal Bath in the U.K. will put on Fences, beginning February 18, 2013, through March 2, 2013. And after that run, the play will move to London's West End theater district (the UK-equivalent of Broadway here in the USA), under Paulette Randall's direction. Henry most recently starred in the West End production of Othello, playing the title role. This will be his first attempt at Troy...

The secret's out - the Olympic opening ceremony was a pyrotechnic act of confession and as its writer, I was elated by the magic we created
It's the morning after the opening ceremony. For two years I've felt constipated with secrets, but last night was a pyrotechnic act of confession, and I feel elated. At last I don't have to talk about "Betty" any more. Betty was the code name for Thomas Heatherwick's beautiful, delicate Olympic cauldron. She was named after the executive producer's dog. And so we were liable to get strange messages about "going to visit Betty" and "what to do if Betty malfunctions" and even "burning Betty". For the last two years I've been going round bragging about being the writer on Danny Boyle's opening ceremony. The usual response is: "Wow!" followed by: "Errrm, what do you mean?" Which is what I asked Danny when he first asked me.

The axe has fallen on the arts. Were the cuts fair? As some groups celebrate and others face oblivion, David Hare, Stephen Poliakoff, Jude Kelly and more give their verdicts
Richard Eyre: director
What Arts Council England has done seems quite smart. Equal misery for all would have been deplorable, and lazy. Instead, they've applied the more substantial cuts to the larger organisations, which have a better chance of raising funding through other means. The National theatre, for instance, has been cut by 15%: I imagine that's roughly what they were expecting, and they can pull in sponsorship to make up the shortfall.
Ace has been intelligent in deciding which organsations should receive increases, or be brought into the new portfolio of funded companies; Ace has thoughtfully applied criteria based around talent and risk-taking. The Barbican and the Arcola in London are deserved recipients of their rises [of 108% and 82% respectively]. But I...
