For those of you who are not in the festive mood yet, here are a couple of non-Christmassy theatre in London this month. First up we have The Truth About Harry Beck.
As part of the new strategic vision for London Transport Museum, Director and CEO Elizabeth McKay and the whole team are pleased to announce that The Truth About Harry Beck, a brand-new play about the designer of the iconic version of the London Tube map, will launch at the Museum’s on-site Cubic Theatre, right in the heart of Covent Garden.
Presented by the Natural Theatre Company, The Truth About Harry Beck, written and directed by Andy Burden, will play from 14 September to 10 November, with a national press night on 18 September at 7.30pm (the fiftieth anniversary of Harry Beck’s death). Tickets are on sale now here.
Inspired by the culture and creativity of the West End, the introduction of theatre is one example of how London Transport Museum is expanding its programming for new audiences. Music, performance and even more art and design will allow people to explore London’s rich transport history and the influential characters that have shaped London.
