Royal Shakespeare Co. Cancels All Scheduled Performances For 2020 (“Scheduled” Is The Key Word)

Due to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic and social distancing rules, the company is postponing everything through the end of the year that had been announced for its Stratford-upon-Avon headquarters and its annual residency at the Barbican in London as well as its West End production of Matilda the Musical. However, the RSC is “actively exploring” a potential reopening of its main Stratford theatre in the fall, safety measures permitting, with productions that were canceled this spring or new projects. – Variety
