Your last chance to see these West End shows
Your last chance to see Teeth 'N' Smiles, Romeo & Juliet and more London theatre
Not to alarm you, but you’ve got a matter of weeks, if not days, to secure your seats for some of the West End’s best shows. From Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe in Romeo & Juliet to Self Esteem in Teeth ‘N’ Smiles, there are lots of big departures coming up, and you won’t want to be left wishing you’d seen them while you had the chance. Here are all the last chance opportunities you’ll want to take advantage of in the West End this month.
Teeth ‘N’ Smiles
Final performance 6 June at the Duke of York’s Theatre
Time is running out to see Rebecca Lucy Taylor, aka Self Esteem, in her starring turn as free-wheeling, self-destructing rock star Maggie Frisby. Marking 50 years since David Hare’s rebel play first captured London audiences at the Royal Court, Teeth ‘N’ Smiles has enjoyed an electrifying anniversary run at the Duke of York’s Theatre. With just a few days left to see it, you’ll want to book quickly.
Romeo & Juliet
Final performance 20 June at the Harold Pinter Theatre
Sadie Sink and Noah Jupe star in this new adaptation of Shakespeare’s youthful tragedy, directed by Robert Icke following his celebrated production of Oedipus. The experimental take on this classic tale of teenage love and destructive hate has garnered a great deal of attention and praise across its London run – make sure to see it for yourself before it leaves this month.
Mother Courage And Her Children
Final performance 27 June at Shakespeare’s Globe
Brecht’s masterpiece plays its final month at Shakespeare’s theatre, with Globe Artistic Director Michelle Terry leading as Mother Courage, the woman prepared to do anything to keep herself and her children alive. With live music and dark, biting humour, Mother Courage And Her Children prods at pre-held ideas around humanity, capitalism and complicity.
