Lonely Planet review

England's flagship theatre showcases a mix of classic and contemporary plays performed by excellent casts. Its outstanding artistic director, Nicholas Hytner, is not only using exciting stagings and plays to attract new audiences but has also slashed ticket prices. Look forward to Ralph Fiennes in Oedipus in 2008 and a new play by David Hare, commissioned by the NT.

In the revolutionary Travelex season, tickets have been sold at around £10 for the peak period of the last few years, and this is set to continue. Otherwise, stand-by tickets (usually around £17 ) are sometimes available two hours before the performance. Students or the unemployed must wait until just 45 minutes before the curtain goes up to purchase stand-by tickets at a concession price of around £9 . Registered disabled visitors are eligible for discounts.
