Theatre productions make alterations in light of UK heatwave

—

Six at the Vaudeville Theatre will introduce breaks throughout this evening’s performance so that cast members can rehydrate. Stay cool, queens!

—

Punchdrunk’s aptly-titled The Burnt City at One Cartridge Place in Woolwich will be curtailed by 30 minutes (the usual running time is 3 hours) in order to “allow greater comfort for both the cast and the audience”.

—

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.
