Theatre closures
Theatres in London are currently closed. In the West End, the closure will continue at least until 26 April.
The show below is due to open after that date so (on current information) it is likely to go ahead as scheduled.

Overview
Synopsis
In a cave on a desolate island lives Philoctetes: once a wartime hero, now a wounded outcast.
Stranded for ten years, he sees a chance of escape when a young solider appears with tales of Philoctetes' past glories.
But with his hope comes suspicion and, as an old enemy emerges, he is faced with an even greater temptation: revenge.
Background
Ian Rickson (Translations) directs Kate Tempest's powerful new version of the Greek legend, with a cast including Lesley Sharp.
