OUT OF OFFICE

THE HABIT OF ARTAlan Bennet’s last play for the National Theatre, The History Boys, became an international phenomenon and film. With Richard Griffiths once again in the starring role, similar things will be expected from The Habit of Art. It imagines a meeting between Benjamin Britten (Alex Jennings) and W H Auden (Griffiths), in what should be a highly entertaining look ageing and creative passion. Until 24 Jan, National Theatre, Southbank. Tickets £10-42 from www.nationaltheatre.co.ukGRAHAM COXON LIVENow that the triumphant Blur reunion is done and dusted, it’s back to solo work for guitarist Graham Coxon.
