Aldwych Theatre

The Aldwych Theatre has hosted several theatrical heavyweights since first opening in 1905, including Laurence Olivier and Joan Collins. It was also the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company from 1960 - 1982.

We believe that the joy of live performances should be accessible to all, and we're committed to removing barriers so everyone can enjoy entertainment in a comfortable, inclusive, and welcoming environment.
