Anaïs Mitchell’s underworld musical gets a West End spin and the Horrible Histories star’s Bottom are among this month’s highlights

He played the Bard on Horrible Histories (“they call me Billy Whizz!”) and in the 2015 film Bill. But it wasn’t until almost a decade later that Mathew Baynton made his Shakespearean debut for the RSC in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. He is playing Bottom again in the hit show’s London transfer at the Barbican until 18 January, when it becomes available to stream on MarqueeTV.
