This is a shocking and upsetting incident. Our thoughts are with the audience and staff who were in the theatre and their families. We're very grateful to the emergency services for their tremendous work and to our staff who helped with the evacuation.
Performances of The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time have been cancelled until and including Saturday 4th January 2014. If you have tickets for these performances please contact your original point of purchase.
Emergency services were called after a section of the ceiling collapsed and fell onto theatregoers. It is believed part of the roof came down forty minutes into the performance. The exact cause of the incident is still being investigated and the theatre owners (Nimax) are working closely with the relevant authorities to establish exactly what happened.
At a meeting today (20th December) all the major theatre owners have confirmed that their safety inspections and certificates are up to date, and will co-operate fully with the authorities to reassure the public that their theatres are safe.
All other London theatres remain open for business today and in the coming weeks.
