Theatre closures due to coronavirus outbreak
England is cautiously moving out of national lockdown due to the coronavirus epidemic, but London theatres remain closed to audiences.
The government has not announced firm dates for theatres to open in England, though a suggested date for indoor performances to restart has been given as 17 May 2021, with capacity restrictions.
Larger theatres may be back with full capacity audiences from 21 June.
London theatres are beginning to announce new show dates and we are updating our listings.
However, we advise checking theatre websites to confirm which shows will be playing in the future.
Closed 4 Feb 2018

Synopsis
Kamara has recently moved from Nigeria to the United States, to join her husband after six years of waiting.
She quickly finds out that the dream life her husband Tobechi left for is not there - instead, the engineer is driving a taxi, and they are crammed in a small apartment with poor prospects for the future.
Moreover, Kamara has come to understand that an ocean between her and Tobechi has diluted their passion.
She starts working as a nanny in an eccentric American family with a pedantic health fanatic and a bohemian artist under the same roof, and tries to learn the oddities of the American culture.
Suddenly, Kamara starts realizing that a new exciting desire is crawling into her flavorless life …
