About the show
Friends, when was the last time you experienced the true magic of theatre?
On November 29, 2026, at Logan Hall — the legendary The Bench starring Alexey Panin.
Following sold-out performances across Europe and the United States, this acclaimed production is coming to London for the very first time.
The Bench is a celebrated play that was once brilliantly performed by Oleg Yefremov and Tatyana Doronina on the stage of the Moscow Art Theatre, before captivating audiences at theatres around the world.
This is the story of a man and a woman.
A chance encounter gradually unfolds into a heartfelt conversation — honest, humorous, vulnerable, and deeply human.
It is about that moment when social roles fall away and pretending is no longer possible.
Starring Alexey Panin and Olga Silina.
A subtle and powerful performance, vibrant stage presence, and a remarkably relatable story in which everyone will find something of their own.
The Bench is a play that leaves you wanting to sit in silence for a while and reflect on what truly matters.
If you've been missing the experience of genuine theatre, this is an evening you won't want to miss.
Tickets are limited.
Running time: 2 hours, including an intermission.
Entrance 12+
