Theatre closures due to coronavirus outbreak
From Saturday 15 August 2020, indoor performances at London theatres are allowed (with social distancing).
Outdoor performances (where possible) can also go ahead.
However, most theatres remain closed as they either do not have outside spaces or regard the need for social distancing as uneconomic.
The show below will not currently be playing and is scheduled to close by 15 August 2020 (when theatres can reopen for indoor performances).
Original performance dates are given below and reflect any changes we know about.
Closed 1 Mar 2020

Synopsis
Welcome to 'Cherokee Valley Zoo and Conservation Centre', where the most dangerous event to ever take place was the Tapir's caesarian section.
But when a hurricane heads straight for Miami, Bonnie rushes to keep her animals safe.
Across the world in the Yorkshire dales - Carol feels the repercussions.
However, the danger turns out to be deeper and darker than the weather.
A play about 'climate change' both in the weather and in the discussion of the female experience, our relationships to the natural world, and perceptions of a life well lived.
What do you do when you've always liked animals more than people and suddenly those animals are under threat?
How do the decisions we make in a crisis shape our destiny?
Sometimes our loyalty and commitment make us who we are ... sometimes we drink too many margaritas and go home with Ian Butterwick, giant otter expert and notorious zoo lothario.
A tale of tragedy, courage, flamingoes and the need to escape.
Background, advisory warnings
Age suitability: 12+
After hit runs at Assembly, Edinburgh and Theatre 503 - 'Zoo' returns to the stage to coincide with publication by Nick Hern (text available for sale at VAULT 2020).
From Lily Bevan - co-writer of Talking to Strangers w/Sally Phillips (BBC Radio 4) and writer/performer of Pheasant Plucker (Edinburgh sellout 2015) comes this glorious story of two complex, funny, awkward women.
