It’s so important that New Theatre Royal remains closed for now, as we play our part in preventing the spread of Coronavirus. We’re missing our audiences, the laughter and bustle of people in our building, and we can’t wait to open our doors again very soon.
While many of us stay at home, we wanted to share how you can still enjoy culture and theatre and where you can find advice, support and resources.
