It's no coincidence that Hollywood actors flock to the UK to tread the boards as it's here that they can rub shoulders with some world-class theatre talent. Whether it's high-brow drama, musicals, ballet, or a thriler, you'll find it all on offer in hundreds of venues that range from London's West End to many fabulous regional places such as the Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, the Palace Theatre in Manchester or the Theatre Royal in Norwich. Plays that have been running for more than 25 years but still draw packed crows include The Mousetrap, Les Misérables and The Phantom of the Opera. For a good laugh why not check out the comedy shows that take place each week in hundreds of comedy venues throughout the UK, ranging from the HMV Hammersmith Apollo that hosts top international acts to smaller venues like the Comedy Store in Manchester or London or the Komedia Comedy Club in Brighton. These venues and many others are featured in our listings below as well as details of local hotels, B&Bs and holiday homes.
