London Theatre query

Timalay

I'm going to see Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap on 6th August at 3 pm, and I'm staying in the Hub by Premier Inn in Shoreditch. I've got an offer on another show I would like to see (The Comedy About Spies) on the same day in the evening (starting at 7 pm). Has anyone ever seen two plays in one day before? Is this doable?

Many thanks

Very doable. The mousetrap is just over 2 hours, so youll be done by 530 and the next theatre is 5 mins away. You'll have time for dinner between the shows!

Are you asking if you could get back to Shoreditch between shows?

The show ends at 5, you'd be hitting peak busy public transport, I wouldn't (and I used to live close to there).

No problem doing a matinee and evening show in a day, done it several times. I'd normally look for an early meal between shows.

No I was thinking of getting to the hotel after both shows. Seeing as there's only a 7 minute walk (according to Google). I shouldn't need to catch a bus or train at that time. I assume it should still be fairly easy to catch a train when the second ends (at around 9:45 pm from what I can gather.)

No problems at that time, bus or tube. Few ways to do it, Google Maps is your friend.

Oh I know that. With my many trips down to London to watch shows. Funnily enough.
