This is a brilliant use of a West End theatre that should continue year-round (but sadly won't).
Every lunchtime at the Criterion, a great athlete is interviewed about their life and work.
In the afternoon two short plays that respond to the games are performed. Check the London Festival 2012 website for more details on those plays and how to buy tickets.
On Saturdays and Sundays comedians and musicians take over to perform late-night gigs.
