Theatres and coronavirus
From Monday 19 July, theatres in London are allowed to operate without capacity limits.
And all legal restrictions imposed by the government will be removed.
However, most theatres will still be following procedures such as electronic ticketing etc and may require masks to be worn.

Synopsis
Following a severe stroke, seventy-four-year-old actor Mr Stone lies dying in a near-empty hospital ward.
His two sons, Tony and Sam, together again after several years must try to reconcile their fractured family over their dying father's hospital bed before it's too late.
They confront each other, their past and the imminent loss of their father.
A funny, moving and witty black comedy by Academy Award Winner and Emmy Nominee Nigel Williams.
