The rest of July, London Transfer Minicabs takes you to the theatre!
There are some exciting new openings in the West End and not only, therefore we thought to select 3 for you, will help.

There are outdoors festivals, premieres in cinema, but going to the theatre is different.
The emotion transmitted, the lessons taught by attending a high-quality theatre production, you won’t get that in any other place!

By understanding theatre, we will understand ourselves. It is about creativity, communication, feelings, diversity, and humanity.

Let’s see now what London has for us, theater-wise.

“Exit the King” is an absurdist drama, part of the “Berenger Cycle” by Eugène Ionesco.
In the play, a 400 years old King Berenger is informed that he is dying and the kingdom is disintegrating around him. After possessing various powers, like commanding the nature and making others obey his will, the news of his death seems unacceptable. Marguerite, his first wife, together with his doctor, is trying to make the King accept his imminent death. To the end of the play, as King Berenger the First will come into acceptance, the characters will vanish individually, with Marguerite and the King for the last.
