About this event

In the heart of 80s London, Ritchie, Roscoe, Colin and Jill are chasing identity, connection and a life on their own terms. When day spills into night, they find a world of abandon, music and friendship, where bodies move freely and life feels limitless.

But as the AIDS crisis begins to unfold, their lives are irrevocably changed. Love, fear and defiance collide as they fight for each other in a world that is rapidly shifting around them – and increasingly hostile to their existence.

Rambert’s new dance work It’s a Sin is inspired by the acclaimed TV series by Russell T Davies, and directed and choreographed by Artistic Director Benoit Swan Pouffer. Brought to life by Rambert’s extraordinary dancers, the piece weaves past and present into something raw, visceral and devastating. An epic story told through movement, It’s a Sin asks who gets remembered, who gets left behind, and how we choose to live now.

It’s a Sin is made possible thanks to major support from the Colwinston Charitable Trust’s 30th Anniversary Fund. It’s a Sin has been supported by Incentivising Touring: Repayable Grants for Theatre and Dance, a pilot scheme developed by Arts Council England.

Presented by Rambert and Factory International. Co-produced with Wales Millennium

Centre (Cardiff), Capital Theatres (Edinburgh), Sadler’s Wells (London), and Les Théâtres de la Ville (Luxembourg).

Executive Producers: Russell T Davies, Pet Shop Boys, Glyn Fussell

This production is inspired by the television series “It’s a Sin” created by Russell T Davies and produced by Red Production Company

Frequently asked questions

The social is the heart of what West End Outings is about, it’s where you meet the group, settle in and get into the swing of the day before curtain-up, so we always encourage you to come along. If you genuinely can’t make it, that’s fine. Just let us know and we’ll leave your ticket at the box office for you to collect before the show.

Yes, always. If you book together, we seat you together. You won’t be split up, so there’s no need to worry about ending up rows apart from whoever you’ve come with.

No. We book seats together in a block so the whole West End Outings party is seated as one group, rather than dotted around the theatre. It’s part of what makes the outing feel like an outing.

You won’t be given a specific seat number in advance, but you won’t be guessing either. Where we can, each event listing shows the rows we have on sale, and we add a seating plan so you can see exactly where our block of seats sits in the auditorium. You’ll get your actual ticket at the pre-show social on the day.

Contact us as soon as you know. Tickets are issued at the pre-show social for the majority of events, so if you’re arriving late and can’t make the meet-up, we need to know so we can make sure you still get your ticket and can get into the theatre. Communication is the key.

Tickets are non-refundable in most circumstances. If you can no longer attend, you have two options:

  1. Gift your ticket to a friend or family member. You can transfer your place to someone else – just make sure they’re aware of what’s involved in a West End Outings event so the experience runs smoothly for everyone.
  2. Let us know and we’ll try to seat-fill. If we can resell your seat, we’ll issue a credit to your account wallet, which you can put towards a future booking.

It’s important you contact us as soon as you know you can’t attend. Tickets are issued at the pre-show social, so knowing who’s coming matters.

Your ticket will be issued at the pre-show social by your host, not sent in advance unless it is a specific ticket only event. This is intentional – it’s part of how the group experience works and how we keep track of who’s attending. If you’re going to be late, it’s important to let us know in advance.

Meet-up locations vary by event. You’ll get the full details, including the specific bar or meeting point and what time to arrive, in the reminder email sent in the week before your event. If anything changes, we’ll contact you.

The social side is as much a part of the experience as the show itself. For West End theatre events, we usually meet around 90 minutes before the show at a nearby bar or pub. Your host will be there to welcome you, and you’ll have time to get a drink and get to know the other people going. Tickets are handed out before you head into the theatre, so you can keep the conversation going.

After the show, everyone meets outside the theatre for a group photo before heading off.

You’ll receive full details – meet-up time, location, what to expect – by email in the week before your event.

  • Basic: No set limit (subject to availability). Tickets are at the standard WEO price, which is already below box office.
