London Recommendations?

[ShortWiner]

A few years ago I saw Maggie Smith in "The Importance of Being Ernest"--stellar--as well as the debut of Tom Stoppard's "Arcadia"--also stellar. On this trip we ended up seeing mainly new plays. Not all were great, but even at a non-so-good show, the feel is different there. The theater there is so much more accessible. A lot cheaper, for one. And quite a bit more variety, for another. It feels like a living, breathing, changing art in London. Plays are constantly opening, closing, being revived, etc. It's less of a "big deal" and more of a fact of everyday life. I hear that drama is taught in every school from primary on up. That explains a lot, I think. The money for art in schools just keeps getting thinner on this side of the pond.
