Jermyn Street Theatre

Exciting off-West End productions at Jermyn Street Theatre

Jermyn Street Theatre is a relatively small West End studio theatre that specialises in staging so-called "off-West End" productions: ones that have just come off the bigger theatre circuit nearby or are preparing to hit the big time. It has won multiple awards for the plays that have been staged here, so you can look forward to top-drawer theatre entertainment virtually no matter what you book to see. The theatre offers an excellent mix of classic plays from Shakespeare to Beckett, as well as lots of modern theatre that covers the board from black comedy to dramas to intensely emotional poetry vignettes performed as short plays.

A down-to-earth theatre that punches well above its weight

One of the best things about Jermyn Street Theatre is its origin as the changing room for staff members of an Italian restaurant next door. It's something that everyone seems to know about the place, and it sums up the down-to-earth atmosphere that you'll find here. Off-West End theatres are renowned for presenting more adventurous theatre, acting as an acid test for a play's public reception. So there have been productions of Agnes Colander London and long runs of pieces like "One Million Tiny Plays About Britain". The theatre also specialises in one-night productions to go with the longer runs of plays that have just come off the West End itself, which makes for a fast-moving and dynamic bill of fare throughout the year. There has always been an appetite for exploring fringe theatre as well, as with plays like "ODYSSEY", a harrowing presentation of exclusively commissioned performance pieces by award-winning modern composers and poets. These sorts of productions are very much the lifeblood of this venue, and Jermyn Street Theatre tickets have always promised a thought-provoking variety of show.

Lots of Shakespeare and Samuel Beckett triple bills

Jermyn Street Theatre can be accessed very easily from Piccadilly Circus, and has been well patronised ever since it opened in the mid 90s with Princess Michael as its patron. Since then, some of the most famous actors in British theatre have trodden its boards, including Sir Ian McKellan and Michael Gambon. In amongst the more left-field theatre shows have been plenty of productions of classic plays, including lots of Shakespeare, like All's Well That Ends Well and The Tempest. Other wonderful productions have been the special seasons, like a Samuel Beckett triple bill comprising "Eh Joe", "Krapp's Last Tape" and "The Old Tune".
