The City of London is slowly waking up again. Restaurants, bars and pubs are reopening.
Shops and gyms are filling up too. Even the large office towers are seeing workers
return. But we are most excited for all the new cultural happenings in the Square Mile.
Galleries, theatres, music halls and major landmarks are gearing up for the May 17
easing of restrictions.

We can’t wait to get back out there. To feed our hunger for cultural experiences. Bring
back our live music, art exhibitions and theatre shows. They will inject joy into our
repetitive lives. Get us out of our ruts. And breathe life back into the Square Mile, which
has been deserted for far too long now. So, dig out your nice clothes, make yourself up
and get back into the City. These are just our favourite bits.

These guys won’t be opening any major in-person theatre performances for a little
while now, but they have plenty of free live streamed shows. From 20-25 May, they’ll be
performing Mr Burns: a post-electric play. When everything we know has been stripped
away, we’re always left with a story… After the collapse of civilisation, a group of
survivors recount an episode of The Simpsons.
