Ambassadors Theatre is one of the smallest theatres in London’s “Theatreland” – it only seats 195 people in the Dress Circle and 251 in the stalls. It was first opened in 1913 and was built to provide a more personal playhouse for smaller performances. It is a Grade II listed building.

Ambassadors Theatre was home to  Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, which showed from 1952 until 1974 before it moved to the larger venue next door at the St Martin’s Theatre. More recently it has shown The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler and Peter Hall’s production of Waiting for Godot. In 2014 Stomp is on, which is the percussion group from Brighton who use everyday items to create musical theatre.
