Very hard to comment, as haven't heard of any of these, which is unsurprising as there are 2 new plays and an obscure play from New York.
Okay it is hard to hide my disappointment here, thought at least one would have been a well known transfer from Broadway.

Sara Kestelman back at the Hampstead after 'iHo' for 'Filthy Business' for all of you Kestelfans! See what I did there?  |

I definitely sure The Holy Rosenbergs but remember nothing about it other than it being set near where I grew up. Intrigued by Gloria.

Hampstead Theatre programming is normally right off my radar but as I've already booked and am eagerly looking forward to Branden Jacobs-Jenkins's The Octoroon at the Orange Tree, directed by Ned Bennett, I shall leap at the chance to see Gloria, also written by Branden Jacobs-Jenkins.
And I've always found Rory Stewart seductively fascinating so I may regret not seeing Occupational Hazards.
Filthy Business sounds like more of the usual dross served up at Hampstead.

Last week the Almeida announced their 3 play season, which is 100% more appealing, even their new writing about the Sun I would find fascinating, how a newspaper moved from a left wing champion of the people to a right wing champion of the people, but really in this programming nothing is there for me, but guess nearer to the time I will see a couple of them.

I do very much like going to the Hampstead, but I feel pretty uninspired by this announcement. Maybe I'll take a season off.

Not very inspiring season, which is a GOOD thing as I'm spending (or spent) a fortune on Angels in America, Hamilton, Almeida, Menier and Young Vic.
