Coronavirus (COVID-19) update
The Cervantes Theatre is suspending all public performances until further notice as we want to do everything we can to protect the health and wellbeing of our audiences, artists, actors and theatre team.
The theatre will remain closed until further notice. For those who hold tickets for future performances, we (or the venues of the tour) will contact you over the next few days with options to receive a refund, to credit the ticket price towards a future production, or help us by donating the price of the ticket.
The Cervantes Theatre is a registered charity, and any donation or subscriptions towards our Friends Scheme will ensure that our theatre stays open after this crisis has passed.
We are paying close attention to the situation and government advice, and will re-open when it is safe to do so.
Many thanks for your support and we look forward to welcoming you again soon.

SUPPORT OUR PRODUCTIONS
– THE FRIENDS SCHEME
The Cervantes Theatre runs a friends scheme that enables people to support the charity to continue providing top quality theatre. Productions in off-west end theatres in London cannot be put on solely through ticket sales (prices would have to roughly double for this to be the case) and so every play requires money to be found from elsewhere. We are deeply grateful to our main corporate and institutional sponsors, whose logos with links to their websites are on the bottom of every page of this website together with Arts Council England for their support
The Friends scheme is designed for individuals who want to help us. In exchange we offer a range of benefits including discounts on ticket and bar prices. Read more here

The easiest way to keep in touch with news from the Cervantes Theatre is to join our newsletter
The Cervantes Theatre stages numerous Spanish language plays throughout the year from both Spanish and Latin American playwrights. The productions are performed in Spanish on Monday-Tuesday, and in English Wednesday-Saturday. Our weekly Tuesday matinees are ideal for school groups wishing to visit our 88 seat venue.
All schools who wish to be involved with the programme will be provided with our educational pack a few weeks before the trip, which includes information on our current production and interactive workshops which can be carried out in class either before or after seeing the play.
Visits also include a pre or post-show talk with a member of the creative team, who will talk about the creative process and discuss issues surrounding the play.
