It is with great pleasure that we launch the King’s Theatre season for 23/34
Our aim this year is to make live performance accessible to everyone – to our amazing QE family and friends but also to the wider community.
The King’s Theatre is a venue that celebrates the work of QE students but also professionals from around the country and its doors are open to all.
There is something for everyone: family theatre, live music, open air performances, QE student work and a mini festival for the youngest theatregoers amongst us.
