But The Shelley Theatre will not reopen in time for the season to begin. In addition social distancing measures which would have to be enforced, as well as the risk of a company member showing symptoms and the understandable reluctance of audiences to visit theatres mean the decision to cancel has to be taken. It's heartbreaking as I feel this was the best season overall with a fantastic company assembled.
LRP will return to the Shelley Theatre in Bournemouth for our 5th summer season, starting on Thursday 29th July and running until Tuesday 31st August 2021 with the same programme we had planned for this year. Tickets will be on sale from January via www.shelleytheatre.co.uk.
Thank you for your understanding and we look forward to welcoming you (back!) next summer.
