The Government announced that as of 31st December 2020 Birmingham would move into Tier 4. Today the Prime Minister confirmed that tougher restriction will be coming soon. With this in mind we have taken the difficult decision to postpone our productions of Cinderella and Blackadder II. We are reviewing our current schedules and will contact ticket holders in due course.

As we are working with a reduced workforce, it may take us some time to contact everyone, but we will be emailing customers to offer a range of options.  The options available may change depending on which event you are ticketed to see.

We appreciate your continued support and understanding.
