PROLOGUE
We are committed to encouraging independent theatregoing by younger members of our audience so we have a special allocation of tickets for those aged 16-25 priced at just £5 for all productions in our Festival Season and for many of the touring productions in our Winter Season. PROLOGUE tickets are released with general ticket sales to ensure there are always seats available for young people, even for the most popular shows in our Festival Season.
