Multiple UK Arts Venues Host Extensive Theatre, Art Exhibitions 2025

Several notable art and theater exhibitions and performances are taking place across the UK and the US. The Bradbury Art Museum at Arkansas State University is hosting three new exhibitions featuring regional and international artists, including juried selections, hybrid biomorphic artworks by Hannah Keats, and found-object sculptures by Ebenezer Nketsiah Mensah. Theatre Royal Plymouth has announced 25 upcoming shows through 2026, including the world tour of Operation Mincemeat, musicals like Legally Blonde and Mrs. Doubtfire, new dance premieres, and intimate events supporting emerging artists. Edinburgh Festival 2025 offers a diverse lineup, from Indigenous playwright Cliff Cardinal's radical retelling of Shakespeare's As You Like It to innovative performances addressing social issues and climate change. Meanwhile, London's art scene is vibrant with exhibitions such as the UK’s longest-running annual art show curated by Farshid Moussavi, solo retrospectives for Rachel Jones and Yoshitomo Nara, and a major survey of Jenny Saville’s work, alongside historical celebrations like the 150th anniversary of Jean-François Millet’s death. Additionally, Shakespeare’s Globe is presenting a traditional period production of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible directed by Ola Ince, contrasting with her previously progressive Shakespeare productions.
