Soho theatre, London, until 3 July
In smal; In the upper room here, you can see new games. The next in the scene that launched many stars is a coming-of-age romcom with Tia-Renee Mullings.

The Long Drop
Citizens theatre, Glasgow, until 20 June
The truth is out of reach in a real whiskey crime drama. Linda McLean adapts The Long Drop from the book by acclaimed author Denise Mina, who has come around since the story began as a play.
