Due to the COVID-19 pandemic , it was announced on 26 August 2020, that the entirety of the 2020 season was cancelled, with the possible exception of A Christmas Carol , which may still be performed depending on government guidelines.[3] Previously, on 22 July 2020, it was said there was the possibility that some performances of Charley's Aunt and Flush might begin in September.[4]
