Christmas shows: Skellig
By Alastair Macaulay and Clement Crisp for The FT


Now that Trevor Nunn has left the National Theatre, he is keeping his hand in elsewhere. After directing The Lady from the Sea at the Almeida, he now tackles the world premiere of this play, adapted by David Almond from his award-winning children's classic. The Young Vic has been a happy locale for Nunn in the past; he staged an unforgettable Timon of Athens there and his Freud's-Vienna Measure for Measure made a great impression there also. Young Vic, London Previews from Nov 21. Dec 3 - Jan 24. Tel 0207 928 6363 www.youngvic.org
