Star Wars actor John Boyega has been given graffiti artist treatment by Aske 19 ahead of his up coming role in Woyzeck at the Old Vic. George Buchner's play, adapted by Jack Thorne, is set in 1980s Berlin and sees Boyega play a soldier who is trying a build a better future for the love…

Now I must apologise in advance because a) there are two hotties because I can't decide between them and b) I don't know the actors names. I've scoured the internet for a cast list of Belarus Free Theatre's Burning Doors but I can't find one. If anyone spots one let me know and I'll add…

Then there was Alexander Hulme who was the hottest Claudius I've ever seen in Gertrude – The Cry at Theatre N16 (didn't…

Now I do have a soft spot for Ben Miles who is in Sunset at the Villa Thalia at the National at the moment (review to come) but this month's hottie is all about the great Dane, the Prince…Hamlet. The stripped to the waist fight between Paapa Essiedu's Hamlet and Marcus Griffiths' Laertes in the…
