Over five days, we’ll explore the best that London theatre has to offer, seeing five shows as part of an itinerary curated by Round House executive leadership. You’ll get to meet with and hear interviews from London theatremakers while enjoying private tours and behind-the-scenes access. After each performance, gather for post-show cocktails to discuss that evening’s show – often the most enlightening and best part of the trip!
Once again, we’ll stay in the South Bank area of London at the luxury Sea Containers London hotel, voted a 2022 Reader’s Choice Award winner by Condé Nast Traveller. Its prime location along the River Thames is walking distance to great theatre, including the celebrated National Theatre, as well as top London attractions, including Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, St. Paul's Cathedral, and Covent Garden. Best of all, Sea Containers offers a posh, spacious private apartment for intimate post-show discussions.
This is an event that gets better and better every year, and you won’t want to miss it.
Participants in the first week of the tour (September 29 - October 4) will see Tracey Scott Wilson’s seminal newsroom thriller The Story directed by Clint Dyer (Death of England) at the National Theatre, and four other shows to be determined.
When a white teacher is killed in a black neighbourhood, four journalists race to get the headline – at any cost. But when shocking new evidence pulls them into the dark heart of the case, they are each forced to confront what they’re prepared to risk to tell their version of the truth. Gripping and adrenaline-fueled, Tracey Scott Wilson’s seminal newsroom thriller is directed by Clint Dyer (Death of England) with a cast including BAFTA Award-winner Letitia Wright (Black Panther), Ashley Thomas (Hostage), Lorraine Toussaint (Orange is the New Black), and Wilf Scolding (Cabaret).
Participants in the second week of the tour (October 6 - October 11) will see Tilda Swinton return to the stage at the Royal Court Theatre in Man to Man, a role that she first performed in 1988, and four other shows to be determined.
In 1930s Germany, a woman puts on her dead husband’s trousers and never takes them off. As the world around her changes, she endures war and dictatorship, hunger and humiliation – always fighting to stay alive.
