ABOUT THE THEATRE
The Theatre Royal Haymarket, known originally as ‘The Little Theatre in the Hay’, is a Grade I listed building situated in the heart of the West End.
Designed and constructed by John Potter in 1720 it is one of Britain’s most treasured theatres.
As of 1820, venue was rebuilt in connection with John Nash‘s schemes for the improvement of the neighbourhood. He redesigned the venues shabby fronticepieces with new awe-inspiring glamour. Nash persuaded the proprietors of the theatre to rebuild on a site a little south of the old one so that the portico should close the vista from Charles Street. The theatre seats 893 patrons and is the third oldest London Playhouse still in use.
