A playground punch-up between Ferdinand and Bruno results in Bruno losing two teeth. But the boys’ enlightened parents decide to meet and talk things over civilly. The meeting starts well, but once the drink starts flowing, it is the parents who turn into spoiled brats. The play – a ruthlessly funny look at middle class parenting – is the winner of a Tony Award for Best Play and an Olivier Award for Best New Comedy and stars Elizabeth McGovern, best known as Cora Crawley in Downton Abbey.Rose Theatre Kingston. Tickets £15-£30. rosetheatrekingston.org
