The Rep's 2025 London Tour

DATES: May 17th - May 25, 2025

Join us for a fantastic tour of London's vibrant theatre and cultural scenes! Your tour guide will be The Rep's Managing Director, Danny Williams and The Rep’s Augustin Family Artistic Director, Kate Bergstrom, whose insights and company make the trip a truly unforgettable experience. 

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Nine Performances. From classic theatre to the best new plays of the season, enjoy the best of London theatre. Specific shows TBD. 

  • The State We’re In. An in-depth look at the country you are visiting – the politics and the social issues of the day. Since we were last together, are we now living in a very different world? Post-pandemic, post-Brexit, we are joined by a political journalist or media commentator to make sense of it all and to review the important matters of the day. 

  • Excursions to the Beautiful English Countryside. Including the National Portrait Gallery, Welford Park, and Richmond. More details to come! 

  • Accommodations and Meals. Our tour will stay at The Montague on the Gardens, a four-star luxury hotel located in the West End, close to Covent Garden and just steps away from the British Museum. With its historic Georgian architecture and handsomely landscaped private gardens, The Montague offers maximum comfort and superior service within easy access of London’s main attractions. Full English Breakfast each day is included at The Montague. The tour also includes a welcome lunch on the day of arrival and a farewell dinner on the final day.
