Nick Boaden, Marketing Manager at Kings Theatre, Portsmouth said: ‘This autumn, we’ll be showcasing a fantastic selection of touring productions, hilarious comedy and a vibrant line-up of music, dance and cabaret.

‘We’re so excited to welcome people back to Kings Theatre and by teaming up with Southern, we hope to encourage people out of the house and on the train to come and see one of our brilliant performances.’

Theatres were forced to close in March 2020 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Chichester Festival Theatre will also be included in the scheme and is just a short train journey from Portsmouth if you fancy a change of scenery.
