Last Chance for Tickets to Admissions at Trafalgar Studios!
Get schooled with Joshua Harmon's Admissions play starring Alex Kingston (ER, Doctor Who)!
Admissions is the hit new Broadway play by Joshua Harmon (Bad Jews) that takes the values of liberal white America and blows them out of proportion. After a highly successful run on Broadway, Admissions has transferred from the Mitzi E. Newhouse Theater at the Lincoln Center in New York to the West End's Trafalgar Studios with Doctor Who actress Alex Kingston starring.
What is the play Admissions about?
Sherri Rosen-Mason (Alex Kingston), the Head of the Admissions Department for a prep school in New England, is fighting to make the school's student body more diverse. With her husband, the school's Headmaster, by her side in the battle, they have managed to transform a 'monochromatic' and dull school into an institution fit for the modern age. But when their son begins eyeing admission into an Ivy League school but gets deferred for not 'ticking enough boxes', their progressive ideals seem to go down the toilet. Admissions explores the contradictions, hypocrisy and conflicts of interest that occasionally hinder progressivism.
The buzz about Admissions – a satire of the left
Joshua Harmon's piercing and, at times, hilarious play, Admissions, which is directed by Daniel Aukin, was one of last year's most popular shows on Broadway, put on by the producers of Oslo. With the show having won a Drama Desk Award and an Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Play, it is reasonable to believe that the West End production of Admissions will enjoy similar success. Critics have been raving for the show's daring and, at times, satirical subject matter.
The story of Admissions is highly thought-provoking and will prompt discussion amongst peers immediately after viewing. If you loved The Height of the Storm, Bad Jews or Oslo, then Admissions is right down your street. Don't miss the astonishing UK premiere of Admissions for its limited 13-week engagement!

We attended the last evening showing of this production-an incredible set of performances and a great, thought provoking, funny show. Glad we didn’t miss it!
Outstanding and believable performances from the cast. Liked the fact it ran straight through. Tough on the actors but the story gained impetus and didn’t lose the tension. Well done. Fabulous show.
Great play!
Thought provoking. Alex Kingston was fabulous

London Theatre Review: Admissions at London's Trafalgar Studios
It’s so unfair living in a society which privileges rich and middle-class white people, right? So what to do? Dabble in a version of social engineering like Sherri Rosen- Mason, a white middle-class Head of Admissions of a private school in America? Alex Kingston’s Sherri is embarrassingly politically aware and has chosen to redress the balance by devising her own system to increase the proportion of students of colour admitted to the private school. Kingston is superb as Sherri, who believes, and lets everyone know it, she is fighting the good fight against white privilege, whilst lacking insight into her own privileged position. Sherri is exposed as taking a tokenistic approach to levelling the playing field. Sherri’s hypocrisy is also revealed in the way she manages her son Charlie not getting into Yale, when Charlie’s friend Perry, who is bi-racial, does.

London Theatre Review: Admissions at Trafalgar Studios
In short, Admissions is not to be missed.
I have to admit, I saw Alex Kingston’s name in the cast list and that sold it to me straight away. I’m a big fan of Doctor Who and love her acting in that so I was hoping her talent translated to theatre.

Q&A with Margot Leicester and Andrew Woodall from Admissions at Trafalgar Studios
It’s not long before the UK premiere of Broadway's Admissions play starts ticking boxes. To help gear up for its highly anticipated run at Trafalgar Studios, we interviewed two of the show’s prominent actors: Andrew Woodall (AW) and Margot Leicester (ML).
Having recently starred in Solo: A Star Wars Story and appearing in such films as The Man Who Knew Too Little and The Count of Monte Cristo, Woodall is set to portray the role of Bill. Meanwhile, Margot Leicester, who is best known for her Olivier Award-winning role in Broken Glass and for appearing as Camilla in King Charles III for both the made-for-TV movie and the Almeida/Wyndham’s Theatre run, is set to portray Roberta.
This award-winning show, which dares to ask, ‘Do you really care about diversity?’ is set to open on Thursday, 28 February 2019 at Trafalgar Studios. Join the debate and read our Q&A with Margot Leicester and Andrew Woodall below.
