Theatres and the coronavirus outbreak
London theatres are permitted to open again to live audiences from Monday 17 May 2021.
Some smaller theatres have already made plans to reopen, though this does not apply yet to all venues.
Many of the big, popular shows in the West End have delayed reopening until later in the summer or Autumn.
We advise checking theatre websites for details about their particular reopening schedule and what you can expect when visiting.

Synopsis
"Grief is weird and expensive."
Jamie wants to start swimming lessons.
Which is not unusual, except for the fact that she just turned thirty.
Attempting to find closure after her brother's disappearance, she decides it's time to face her fear.
This coming-of-adulthood story explores Black people's relationship to water, whilst finally answering the question: are there really sharks in the deep end of the pool?
