What Your Ticket Includes
Your ticket covers entry to the performance of Tao of Glass at Sohoplace, with ten new pieces of music by Philip Glass played live by a four-piece band alongside Phelim McDermott and three puppeteers. Food and drink are not included.
Age Recommendations
Recommended for ages 12 and above. Under-15s must be accompanied by an adult, and everyone needs their own ticket whatever their age.
Best Time to Attend
Matinees at 2:30 pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays are the calmer option; 7:30 pm evenings draw a fuller house. The run ends on 12 September 2026, and Sohoplace releases £25 day seats from the Box Office, so an early weekday visit is the best-value way in.
Facilities
Sohoplace is fully air-conditioned, with bars on every level. The buzzy ground-floor bar opens 90 minutes before each performance and stays open afterwards; the theatre bars open 45 minutes before, and you can pre-order interval drinks at any bar. The cloakroom on the ground floor is free and opens 45 minutes before the show, and bags larger than A4 must be checked in. Food and drink bought elsewhere may not be brought in, though sealed plastic bottles of water are allowed.
Accessibility
The foyer is step free from street level and there is lift access to every floor, with a unisex adaptable toilet on each level. Wheelchair spaces and companion seats are available for every performance, along with end-of-aisle seats and central stalls seating recommended for patrons who are blind or partially sighted or deaf or hard of hearing. Up to two seats per performance can be booked at the access rate of 50% off each, the equivalent of a carer going free. The theatre has a Sennheiser FM system with 20 headsets and 10 neck loops, and guide and hearing dogs are welcome, with a dog-sitting service for two dogs. Remaining access performances for this run are a chilled performance on 29 August at 2:30 pm and an audio-described performance on 3 September at 7:30 pm. Call the access line on 0330 333 5962 or email access@sohoplace.org.
How Long Is Tao of Glass?
Tao of Glass runs for approximately 2 hours and 30 minutes, including one interval.
Performances are at 7:30 pm Monday to Saturday, with 2:30 pm matinees on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays, until 12 September 2026. Doors open around 45 minutes before the performance and the show starts promptly at the time printed on your ticket. Latecomers are admitted at a suitable break where possible and may be given an alternative seat, because the auditorium is small and in the round.
Venue: Sohoplace, 4 Soho Place, Charing Cross Road, London W1D 3BG
By tube: The theatre sits directly above Tottenham Court Road station, served by the Northern, Central and Elizabeth lines. Leicester Square, on the Northern and Piccadilly lines, is also a short walk away.
On foot: You will find the theatre close to the junction of Oxford Street and Charing Cross Road, opposite Centre Point. Soho Place itself is pedestrianised, so it is an easy approach on foot from Soho, Covent Garden or Oxford Street.
By bus: The nearest bus routes are 1, 8, 14, 98, 176, N1 and N171, all stopping within a couple of minutes of the theatre.
By car: There is no theatre car park. The nearest car park is Q-Park Chinatown, and if you are being dropped off, head for Sutton Row off Soho Square, which is only metres from the front door. Central London congestion and ULEZ charges apply.
