A centrepiece of theatrical history for over 350 years, the theatre’s impressive list of past performers and productions reads like a who’s-who of theatrical royalty. Theatre Royal Drury Lane has been home to some of the most breath-taking spectacles seen on a West End stage as well as being the trailblazer for theatre innovation.

First constructed in 1663, Theatre Royal Drury Lane is the oldest theatre site in continuous use in the world. Under the leadership of award-winning architect Steve Tompkins, the restoration plans not only brought the building’s original features back to life, but focused as much on the future as they did the past.

The auditorium has been remodelled to create wider seats, more legroom and better sight lines. The auditorium has also been reshaped to create a tighter curve, bringing the audience and the performer closer together, with flexibility built in to allow for both a thrust stage, and in the round performances.
