Tamsin Greig (Hilary) and Bel Powley (Tilly) do battle in 'Jumpy' Affairs, arguments, accidents. Feminism, marital failure and a fear of ageing. Jumpy has plenty of conflicts and issues, dunked in a wonderful bittersweet humour. But while April de Angelis faces uncomfortable truths, she fails to deal with them with equal courage. This play gnashes its teeth - at the gap in communication between generations and at the eternal pursuit of youth - but it lacks bite. Jumpy, which was first on at the Royal Court last autumn, is worth seeing for Tamsin Greig alone.

Obi Abili as aspiring Olympian Lucky Henry in 'Taking Part' Britain may be in grip of Olympic fever, but two playwrights are questioning our unqualified cheer: should we really break out into an excited sweat, they ask, at the mention of beach volleyball, Rebecca Adlington and Danny Boyle? Taking Part and After the Party come under the umbrella of Playing the Games, which comprises a fortnight of plays, standup and talks at the Criterion Theatre responding to London 2012. Although complementary, each one-hour comic play stands alone. Without lapsing in bitterness, Adam Brace ( Taking Part) and Serge Cartwright ( After the Party) question, respectively, the principles and legacy of the Games.

It's brash, jolly, stuffed with wildly politically incorrect language, double entendres and spoof-laden song and dance. But beneath its brightly painted face, its stockings, suspenders and corsets, its uniforms and bravado, Peter Nichols' 1977 musical drama is revealed, in a production by Michael Grandage that is as sensitive as it is exuberant, to be both acerbically astute and compassionate. Well, as the leading lady, Acting Captain Terri Dennis puts it, "you can't always judge a sausage by...
