Jonathan Kent makes his debut at the ENO directing Sir Michael Tippett’s powerful oratoriio A Child Of Our Time.

Unlike film, theatre doesn't have an official age classification organisation. That means all age recommendations are subjective and should be treated as guidelines unless otherwise stated. With this in mind, we ask you to use your judgement in regards to a show’s suitability prior to purchase. However, we are more than happy to help you make a decision.
