The Garrick Theatre London
The Garrick Theatre London West End
The Garrick Theatre was designed by Walter Emden, and C J Phipps as a consultant to help with the planning on this site which included an underground river.

The theatre was built for W S Gilbert, who was responsible for the book and lyrics of all Savoy Operas with Sir Arthur Sullivan. The theatre opened on 24th April, 1889 and was named after David Garrick, an 18th Century actor. The theatre has retained its Victorian aspects. Sir John Hare produced and starred in The Profligate with Johnston Forbes Robertson and Lewis Waller in 1889.

When first built the theatre had 800 seats on four levels, but since then the gallery has been closed and the seating capacity reduced to 656. The gold leaf auditorium was restored in 1986 by the designer Carl Toms and in 1997 the front facade also had a facelift. The theatre has largely been associated with comedies or comedy-dramas.

Recent productions include a No Sex Please We’re British, which then transferred to the Duchess Theatre in August 1986. On 24th October 1995 the Royal National Theatre’s multi-award winning production of J B Priestley’s An Inspector Calls opened here, having played successful seasons at the RNT’s Lyttelton and Olivier theatres as well as the Aldwych Theatre and a season on Broadway.

The Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s Red Velvet – Review

February 3, 2016 Last updated: May 4, 2019 10:06 pm By Chris Omaweng

It’s quite tortuous these days to experience a Shakespeare play in which every line is acted out. Red Velvet sees Adrian Lester as Ira Aldridge taking on the title role in Othello - a role Lester took on without the additional backstory at the National Theatre in 2013. Except this is the Theatre Royal Covent Garden in 1833 (the name Royal Opera House was not adopted until 1892), and in this play-within-a-play, scenes from the Bard are performed with such exaggeration to the … [Read more...]
