From classic musicals and beloved plays to family shows, comedy, dance and more, Love Your Local Theatre has brought together local theatres from across the UK to give people the chance to experience live entertainment for less this spring.

Stephanie Sirr, President of UK Theatre, said: “We are delighted to be working with The National Lottery on Love Your Local Theatre, the first time UK Theatre members across the country have united for a ticket promotion of this scale.

“We should be hugely proud in this country to have such an extensive, vibrant and diverse range of regional theatres, all of which play a vital role in the theatre landscape of the UK and beyond.

“After such a turbulent two years, we want to shout about the fact that theatres are open and ready to reward audiences for their patience and loyalty - please visit your local theatre and help them continue to make brilliant creative work!”

The Love Your Local Theatre promotion is available to anyone who is a National Lottery player and possesses a National Lottery ticket.

From February 1, players can purchase tickets at available performances taking place during the month of March at www.theatreroyalwinchester.co.uk.

Shows included in this promotion at Theatre Royal Winchester are as follows: New Old Friends production of Crimes, Camera Action; Blackeyed Theatre’s productions of Frankenstein and The Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde; Conn Artists Theatre Company’s production of Mary Rose by J M Barrie, the delightful children’s production of Dear Zoo; Alan Titchmarsh in session with Fiona Lindsay; Yorke Dance Project's Connecting to Cohan and Platform 4’s Triffids.
