Top Plays and Comedies

What are good plays and comedies to see in London?

Every year the stars come to appear in great productions of well known plays and comedies. The classics: Shakespeare are always in good supply but both new plays and classics also attract the big name actors from all over the world.

2026 promises plays including Stranger Things, Woman in Mind, Inter Alia and All My Sons.

Stand out comedies include I’m Sorry Prime Minister, Austentatious and The Play That Goes Wrong.
