Join us for a show
The Magician's Elephant and The Comedy of Errors are both entering their final month, while we're pleased to say that Matilda The Musical is now booking into December 2022 at the Cambridge Theatre in London.
With its final shows on 1 January, now is the perfect time to book for our new musical, The Magician's Elephant, in the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. Socially-distanced performances are taking place on 7, 21 and 28 December, and visitors on 14 December can join us for a free post-show talk after the performance. See our Tickets page to find out about these events, as well as our other assisted performances taking place over the month.
If you're in London, Phillip Breen's hilarious production of The Comedy of Errors runs until 31 December at the Barbican. Visit their website to book and to find full details of their assisted performances and special events around the show.
