The doomed Willy Wonka event that took place in Glasgow earlier this year is heading to the Edinburgh Fringe Festival next month in the shape of a parody musical, titled "Willy’s Candy Spectacular: A Musical Parody". As Willy Wonka himself put it: “A little nonsense, now and then, is relished by the wisest men” - and anyone heading to the Fringe this summer would be wise not to miss out. As if that wasn’t enough to tickle your snozzberries, there’s an added bonus: two of the original actors from the 1971 film will be there. Indeed, Julie Dawn Cole and Paris Themmen, who played the greedy Veruc...

It’s being put on, rather aptly, by the Civil Disobedience & Theatre of the Existential Void, with t...

Club members, including writer and actor Stephen Fry, assembled yesterday at the Garrick, located in London’s theatre district, to debate and vote on the issue. The members, many of them wearing pale pink and green club ties reminiscent of marshmallow flumps, debated the question of women’s membership behind closed doors before putting the matter to a vote. It passed by an almost perfect 60:40 split. Why now? Pressure to admit women to the Garrick has been mounting for decades. But recently, calls to address the stark inequality intensified after the Guardian revealed last month the previously...
