Whether it’s a revival of a classic Shakespeare work, or the latest play from one of the world’s most renowned writers, the West End is the perfect place to experience theatre’s purest form.

If it’s a classic you’re after, then The Mousetrap is the show for you. Performed in London continuously since 1952, Agatha Christie’s murder mystery is the longest running show ever in the West End.

Why not unwind with the best comedy that London has to offer. Join the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society as they attempt to stage a complex murder mystery in The Play That Goes Wrong or witness the heist of the century in The Comedy About A Bank Robbery. There’s nothing better than a bit of comic relief to help you laugh your way through the week!

The Woman in Black
Bone-chilling thriller! I watched half the show with my fingers in my ears...and loved every minute! No wonder it’d been on for 30 years...

The Play That Goes Wrong
Extremely funny. At times totally unexpected, at others predictable but always a giggle. Well acted, easily relatable to and again, a lovely giggle.

Our expert's play pick

"The two actors are excellent and the play is fantastically written, building the tension whilst providing moments of light relief.

It is definitely scary, using clever staging that will have you jumping out of your seat, making it a great night out that’s a bit different from everything else that’s on."
