By Lucy Brooks on 27/10/2021

For a star safari, here's the shows to book fast, before the herds of superfans!

Jodie Comer in Prima Facie, Harold Pinter Theatre

Jodie Comer's grapple with justice

From an obnoxious assassin to an emotionally drained barrister, Killing Eve star Jodie Comer makes her West End debut in an intense one-person play. Prima Facie portrays a successful lawyer who is flummoxed by the patriarchal repercussions of a sexual assault case. It's a nuanced and timely show that gives Comer plenty of scope to captivate a live audience.

Travel to NYC for: Daniel Craig's Macbeth

From James Bond to Britain's Bard... After retiring from his 007 duties, Daniel Craig is taking on a totally different - but equally bloody - new role.
