Doctor Faustus performances cancelled due to flood

Fans and ticket holders were informed that Saturday's matinee and evening performance of the play, which stars Game of Thrones star Harington, would not take place.

It's not the first time there has been a flood at the theatre. In January performances of two family shows were also cancelled due to flooding.

A statement from Jamie Lloyd Company issued on Instagram read: "We're really sad that we had to cancel the matinee of Doctor Faustus today. This is due to a flood in the theatre, so it is completely out of our control.

"Huge apologies to you all. The amazing #KitHarington has been signing posters in the foyer for the entire audience. What a gent. Thank you so much for your understanding and we look forward to welcoming you back another time. Please contact your point of purchase."

The company also confirmed that this evening's performance will not go ahead.

Harington appeared in the foyer to meet disappointed fans. The company told ticket holders to contact their point of purchase.

Thank you to the awesome #KitHarington for meeting our patient audience this afternoon when the matinee was cancelled at the last minute. Not only is he a very talented actor, but he’s a brilliant, generous man. We’re lucky to be working with him and our incredible cast. They are all wonderful people. We’re grateful. Apologies again to you all – our amazing audiences – for today’s cancelled performances due to a flood at the theatre. #FaustusLondon #Sorry
