As the largest independent theatre in the West End, the Shaftesbury Theatre takes pride in being distinctive, open and original. It presents the very best of both emerging and established talent and has a reputation for high quality productions that are often World or British premieres, with many going on to win multiple awards for their innovation and originality. The Shaftesbury believes in welcoming all communities into the building and seeks to present work of the widest appeal in an ever improving physical environment where our audience is both challenged and entertained. It has consistently championed unheard voices.
