National restrictions will be eased after December 2nd.
The National Theatre resumed performances of the show in October. A new one-person play, DEATH OF ENGLAND: DELROY, by Clint Dyer and Roy Williams, is directed by Dyer, and performed by Giles Terera. This follows on from Dyer and Williams' play Death of England, which Dyer also directed, and which was performed by Rafe Spall in the Dorfman Theatre, closing only weeks before lockdown.
