LONDON — The cast and crew of “Seven Methods of Killing Kylie Jenner,” an experimental play at the Royal Court, were just two weeks into their run when they received some bad news: One member of the company had tested positive for the coronavirus, and everyone had to quarantine. On July 4, the theater canceled performances for a week. This Monday alone, “The Prince of Egypt” at the Dominion Theater; another “Romeo & Juliet,” at the Regent’s Park Theater; and “Bach and Sons,” at the Bridge were all canceled for at least five days because of confirmed or potential cases. The spate of abandoned shows comes at what was supposed to be a celebratory moment for British theater. Audience members will no longer have to wear masks inside theaters, although many are encouraging patrons keep them on.
