The Young Vic has taken the difficult decision to cancel tonight and tomorrow night's performances of Chasing Hares due to "the extreme red weather heat warning and TfL advised restrictions to limit unnecessary travel". All affected patrons will be issued with a refund which will be processed within the next 48 hours, but may take up to ten days.
