That’s the longest theatre closure in London since the Puritan repression in 1642. Now orchestras are tuning, stars are slipping into costume, and curtains are rising as audiences and talent come face to face for the first time in a very long time.

As we adjust to our new normal, we’re going behind the scenes to see what’s changed, what’s new, and what’s never coming back again.
