We’re already gearing up for our next London Theatre tour, now scheduled January 7-17, 2010.   It’s too early to tell exactly what we’ll see, but we promise to choose 6 of the very best new shows in town. We will again stay in the Thistle Trafalgar, a fine hotel right in the heart of the west end, within easy walking distance of most theaters, the National Gallery, Trafalgar Square, and the Thames.  We’ll manage a short expedition to some very special place just out of town, we’ll invite a few very special guests (past visitors have included Janet McTeer, Michael Frayn, and Simon Russell Beale). We’ll arrange a special dinner at a very good restaurant with a lovely room in one of London’s most famous restaurants.  There’s plenty to time to take in all the museums, galleries, exhibitions and concerts that flood the city at this time of year.  And best of all, the London Tour attracts wonderful people who get to know each other and talk to each other. 

Each morning Murray Ross, our Artistic Director, will preview the evening’s show and lead a group discussion of what we’ve seen.  For many these gatherings are what make this unbeatable tour so very special.

 

London, as we all know, is an expensive city, but we do our very best to make the tour reasonable.  It’s not cheap --- but it’s also a bargain!
