Theatre closures due to coronavirus outbreak
England is currently in a third national lockdown due to the coronavirus epidemic, so all London theatres are closed to audiences.
The government has not announced firm dates for theatres to open in England, though a suggested date for partial reopening has been given as 17 May 2021, with larger theatres possibly back with full capacity audiences from 21 June.
We update our listings to reflect cancellations and postponements of shows, but we advise checking theatre websites to confirm which shows will be playing in the future.

Synopsis
Under the shadow of gathering clouds at dusk, lit by the glimmer of fireflies, Puck acts as the guide.
You're invited to explore the forest from the canopy of the trees to the roots, meet the sprites, Cobweb, Mustardseed, Peaseblossom and Moth, and take an extraordinary journey into the eye of a cataclysmic storm.
Background, advisory warnings
Age suitability: Not available
The 50-minute online event will be a shared experience between remote audience members and the seven actors who play Puck and the sprites.
You can choose to buy a £10 ticket to take part and at key points in the play directly influence the world of the actors, or to watch the performance for free.
The performances of Dream use motion capture as the culmination of a major piece of cutting-edge research and development (R&D) to explore how audiences could experience live performance in the future in addition to a regular visit to a performance venue.
