Brian Cox to tour in one man show
The final show is at the Adelphi Theatre in London's West End on November 4.
Cox said: 'I am looking forward to this tour as it marks something a little different for me – sharing the stage with myself.
'As the title indicates, the show will focus more than ever on my life and career.
'It should be a lot of fun.'
Cox, who was born in Dundee, will be joined on stage for the show's second half by producer Clive Tulloh, who will put questions from the audience to him.
Publicists said Cox will 'take audiences on a journey through his life and incredible career – from the backstreets of Dundee to the glittering lights of Hollywood – a journey that is full of laughter and pathos.
'Expect candour, searing honesty and hilarious stories.'
Cox trained at Dundee Rep Theatre before going on to work at the Royal Lyceum Theatre, the Royal National Theatre and the Royal Shakespeare Company, where he first gained recognition for his portrayal of King Lear.
His accolades include two Olivier Awards and a Primetime Emmy Award. He also won a Golden Globe for his portrayal of Logan Roy in Succession.
Tickets will go on sale at 10am on Wednesday at BrianCoxOnTour.com.

King Charles 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move
King Charles 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move King Charles is said to be 'bemused' by Meghan Markle and Prince Harry's latest move as the couple are reportedly in a feud with the British monarch over their children's future King Charles III and Queen Camilla, followed by Princess Anne, Princess Royal, arrive for the Sovereign's Garden Party at the Palace of Holyroodhouse on July 1, 2025 in Edinburgh, Scotland. (Image: Getty Images ) King Charles is reportedly embroiled in another dispute with Meghan Markle and Prince Harry, this time concerning their children, Prince Archie and Princess Lilibet. The British sovereign has found himself at the centre of controversy following revelations that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex are seeking new passports for their offspring, hinting at a possible return to working Royal duties in the UK in the future. This development comes as a surprise, especially given Meghan and Harry's high-profile departure from Royal life in 2020 and their subsequent candid remarks about the institution. A confidant of the Sussexes told The Guardian that the intention behind the passport bid was so "when they grow older, they can decide for themselves whether they want to become working royals or stay out of public life." Amidst delays and bureaucratic hurdles in securing the passports, there's speculation that the Duke and Duchess suspect King Charles may be influencing the process.

The Daily Mail reports that King Charles is both incredulous and amused by the notion that Archie and Lilibet might assume Royal duties, considering their parents' decision to relinquish such roles in 2020. It is also believed that Prince William, who is next in line to the throne, would prevent Archie and Lilibet from assuming any Royal duties. Article continues below An insider reportedly told The Daily Beast's Tom Sykes about the Prince of Wales's stance, saying: "William obviously isn't going to hire Archie and Lilibet. This is just trolling on the part of Harry and Meghan." Royal commentator Richard Eden, writing for The Daily Mail, noted: "From what I am told, the removal of Archie and Lilibet's HRHs could be part of a wider 'slimming down' of the Monarchy when William becomes King."

Broken schemes, qualms with the Crown and Rod's Reform: Readers discuss
Do you agree with our readers? Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments. The government, the opposition and the country in general seem to be discussing the 'broken benefits system' in order to save money. But why is no one talking about the 'broken tax system' with all its tax avoidance schemes? Pedro, Hammersmith So people are having a go at Rod Stewart for both his performance and his politics (MetroTalk, Mon). His set was brilliant – I'd rather hear 15 great/classic songs from an 80-year-old than some of the other nonsense on offer! And as for him suggesting we 'give Nigel Farage a chance', I may not agree but don't the latest polls say that Rod is in the majority? Lighten up out there!Steve Tomkins, London John Lawrence's view (MetroTalk, Wed) that a certain word regarding iconography should be banned from all publications is spot on. His message will surely be long remembered, in fact… it will likely become iconic! Simon, Dewsbury In response to Martin Lawrence's letter (MetroTalk, Tue) regarding the cats 'crapping' in his garden. Scatter orange peel around. Cats hate the smell of citrus. It's cheaper than getting a cat, and you certainly don't have the responsibility of the upkeep for a little moggy! Maggie Small, via email Martin Lawrence does not need to get a cat. Just go to a zoo and ask for some tiger dung. Spread it over the flower beds and the cats will disappear as they will think that there is a 500lb cat in residence. It might even be good for the flowerbeds! Peter Acton, Upper Holloway I enjoy wordsearch but Tuesday's, on a cycling theme, seemed to be missing one word: pavement. Russell Stevens, via email The demise of the Royal Train ( Tue) will, much like the demise of Royal Yacht Britannia, come to be regretted by the Royal Family. Many of us will never ever meet the head or deputy head of state, but the sight of the train passing through the countryside was a morale-booster for many. The yacht visited remote parts of Scottish islands where the royals could relax, the train is stabled in quiet sidings and loops to avoid disrupting freight and passenger trains. That's been lost. The green credentials of the Royal Family have been ruined, too – helicopters and cars are not the answer. The Crown has just become a little more detached from the people that 'the firm' claim to serve.

Olivier-winning The Red Shoes coming to King's Theatre
The 2025/26 tour of Matthew Bourne's The Red Shoes will be the first run of the show since the 2020 tour was cut short due to Covid-19. The show will be performed at the King's Theatre from January 27 to 31, 2026. This new tour will be in celebration of the double Olivier award-winning show's 10th anniversary. Read more: Update provided on plans for closed A-listed building Ashley Shaw, Cordelia Braithwaite, Hannah Kremer, and Holly Saw will all take on the role of Victoria Page, while Andy Monaghan and Reece Causton will play Boris Lermontov. Dominic North and Leonardo McCorkindale will portray Julian Kraster, with Michela Meazza, Cordelia Braithwaite, and Katrina Lyndon as Irina Boronskaya. They are joined by Liam Mower, Will Bozier, and Jackson Fisch as Ivan Boleslawsky, and Glenn Graham, Liam Mower, and Reece Causton as Grischa Ljubov. Mr Bourne said: "I'm thrilled to announce today that 11 of the original cast of The Red Shoes, which premiered in 2016, are returning for this 10th Anniversary production, performing the roles they created, possibly, for the last time. "The Red Shoes was the culmination of a twenty-year ambition to bring Powell and Pressburger's seminal 1948 film to the stage. "It was also, in many ways, a personal love letter to a life in theatre and dance." Joining the lead roles are Mark Austin, Isabella Chandler, Adam Davies, Cameron Flynn, Anna-Maria de Freitas, Christina Gibbs, Thomas Ireson, Rosanna Lindsey, Callum Mann, Daisy May Kemp, Jarrod McWilliams, Matthew Potulski, Molly Shaw-Downie, Kingston Taylor, Shakiera Ward, and Daisy West. After a successful residency at Sadler's Wells for New Adventures' 23rd consecutive Christmas season, the Glasgow performances will mark the start of The Red Shoes' UK tour. Mr Bourne's production of The Red Shoes is an adaptation of Powell and Pressburger's 1948 film, which is an Academy Award-winning movie. The Red Shoes tells the story of a girl's dream to be the greatest dancer in the world, and her struggle between the two men who inspire her passion. The production is set to a score orchestrated by Terry Davies, featuring music by Bernard Herrmann, with designs by Lez Brotherston, Paule Constable, and Paul Groothuis. The show was an instant hit when it premiered in 2016, with the world premiere season selling out before it even opened. It then went on to win Best Entertainment at the 2017 Olivier Awards, with Mr Bourne being awarded Best Theatre Choreographer. Mr Bourne said: "I'm so happy to see it return this year, especially as our last tour in 2020 was sadly cut short by the pandemic and left many of our loyal audiences throughout the UK disappointed. "So, welcome back to the Ballet Lermontov and to paraphrase the great impresario himself… 'It's time to put on the red shoes, Vicky, and dance for us again....'"
