Aldwych Theatre in the leafy Aldwych street
The Aldwych Theatre is in Aldwych in London. It seats 1200 people over three levels and dates back to 1905 by Seymour Hicks. It is now a Grade II listed building.
It has had a rich history. Laurence Olivier directed A Streetcar Named Desire in 1949 and in 1960 the Royal Shakespeare Company of Stratford-upon-Avon moved in and stayed until 1982. It was here that Joan Collins starred in 1990/91 in the play Private Lives. American classics Fame and Dirty Dancing played from 2002 until 2011.
