Harry Potter and the Cursed Child resumes performances at the Palace Theater in London on October 14.
Both parts of the award-winning production will be shown when the drama returns after more than a year and a half of hiatus due to the pandemic; North American productions (including the Broadway production, which resumes in November at the Lyric) will be presented in one show. Playwright Jack Thorne and director John Tiffany, who crafted the story with original series writer JK Rowling, worked on the condensed version as theaters remained dark.
