Save 40% on plays hit by COVID-19 in our Sale

When theatres were first forced to close one year ago, dozens of wonderful plays were impacted – performances were cancelled, runs were cut short, and others were never even able to open at all.

In this selection, we've rounded up a range of wonderful plays that were sadly impacted by COVID-19 – unable to be seen by the audiences they deserved, but thankfully still available to enjoy on the page – all available at 40% off in our Sale.

Plus, £1 from every book sold in our Sale will go to the Theatre Artists Fund, which continues to provide emergency support for theatre-workers and freelancers across the UK affected by the devastating impact of COVID-19 on the theatre sector.

Remember, everything included in the Sale has been handpicked from the shelves at NHB HQ, and stock is strictly limited. So if you see something you want, move fast to avoid missing out – because once it's gone, it's gone!
