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.

Review of The Entertainer – Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company

September 4, 2016 Last updated: April 9, 2021 11:46 pm By Paddy Briggs

The Entertainer production photo

The Entertainer brings to an end the Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company’s inaugural season at the Garrick. The seven plays have been varied and challenging and there were no easy hits amongst them. The casting was generally excellent with a few unusual calls (the 77-year- old Derek Jacobi as Mercutio for example). I missed The Winter's Tale (tickets like gold dust) but saw and enjoyed the rest. To finish with The Entertainer was a fitting climax not just to the season but to Branagh’s starring role … [Read more...]

Romeo and Juliet – Kenneth Branagh Theatre Company – Review

May 27, 2016 Last updated: May 4, 2019 9:58 pm By Paddy Briggs

Romeo and Juliet

Romeo and Juliet has a story which has "mileage". In Opera, Ballet, the Concert Hall, the Musical Theatre and (no doubt) on ice as well. It's about man's folly. The Shakespeare tragedies usually are. The follies of revenge, or ambition , or jealousy or power or madness. Here, to an extent , we address the follies of youth. But in fact the star-crossed lovers, whilst perhaps foolish in the depth and urgency of their passion, are actually among the saner characters in … [Read more...]

The Painkiller is utterly joyous at The Garrick Theatre – Review

March 17, 2016 Last updated: May 4, 2019 10:03 pm By Chris Omaweng

The Painkiller

This adaptation of The Painkiller is so side-splittingly amusing that it is almost in danger of being better called ‘The Pain Causer’. It’s an extraordinary transformation from its original French version by Francis Veber into this British farce. A note in the programme from director and adaptor Sean Foley explains it was Veber’s insistence that an English language version of his ‘Le Contrat’ to be staged in London should not be a stuffy line-by-line translation of the … [Read more...]
