"The biggest coming to London in May is Beetlejuice, a massive Broadway Tim Burton musical adaptation that's finally found a West End theatre big enough to stage it."
"Gary Oldman was a Royal Court stalwart until the mid-'80s, when he essentially quit theatre for film: you'll probably be familiar with his work."
"Last year, however, he returned to the stage with a production of Samuel Beckett's peerless experimental masterpiece Krapp's Last Tape, in which an old man listens back with mounting horror to the megalomaniacal recorded utterances of his youth."
"Now it's coming to London as part of the Royal Court's 70th birthday celebrations: obviously it's long sold-out but all Monday tickets go on sale on the day of performance."
May 2026 marks a vibrant month for London's West End, with significant productions launching. Beetlejuice, a Tim Burton musical, is set to make a grand entrance. Gary Oldman returns to the stage in Krapp's Last Tape, a sold-out show celebrating the Royal Court's 70th anniversary. The production features Oldman in multiple roles, including director and designer. Additionally, other notable performances include Jinkx Monsoon's tribute to Judy Garland and Ava Pickett's much-anticipated show. Ticket availability for Krapp's Last Tape includes Monday sales and standing options for in-person attendees.
