GOSSIP: RSC's Wolf Hall & Bring Up the Bodies extend West End run

According to The Daily Mail, The Royal Shakespeare Company's productions of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies have extended their run at the Aldwych Theatre for an extra four weeks. 

Both productions will now run until Saturday 4th October 2014. Jeremy Herrin directs. Producers are apparently looking to transfer the shows to Los Angeles, Toronto and then New York next year.

Hilary Mantel's popular books have been adapted for the first time for the stage in two parts by Mike Poulton. The adaptations were commissioned by Playful Productions who worked in collaboration with the RSC to bring them to the stage. The two plays tell the compelling story of the political rise to power of Thomas Cromwell from blacksmith's boy to Henry VIII's right hand man.
