November is still a relatively quiet month, before the frenzy of the Christmas and New Year period. Why not take the opportunity to put on a (beautiful) show?
It's a good time of year: the theatrical season is over, and new shows are well established. And, although Christmas is still a long way off, the shows that are playing for the period often start as early as November. As a result, they're already on the bill.

Troupes, solo artists, musicians, circus performers, comedians, dancers, actors... They're all delighted to be back on stage after a few complicated years in the performing arts, and look forward to seeing you in the capital's concert halls.
