Posted on
[**London's Kiln Theatre**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/tickets/premiere) has been forced to make the difficult decision to cancel its upcoming new production of [***A Museum in Baghdad***](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/play/4368/a-museum-in-baghdad-tickets.aspx) due to COVID-19. It is unclear at this time whether **Hannah Khalil**'s play produced by [**Royal Shakespeare Company**](https://www.londontheatredirect.com/tickets/royal-shakespeare-company) will run at the venue at a later date. All ticketholders will be contacted by their point-of-sale for refunds.
