Crafty rather than comic, the former Comedy Theatre is best known for creating the New Watergate Club in 1956 – an enterprise that allowed the venue to put on risqué productions unlikely to get past the stringent and outdated censorship of the Lord Chamberlain’s Office. Running as a club, it was able to stage Arthur Miller’s ‘A View from the Bridge’ and Tennessee Williams’s ‘Cat on a Hot Tin Roof’ – landmark shows that pressured censors into relaxing their stance. Challenging and daring theatre has since been on the bill at the Comedy Theatre – notably the debut of Peter Shaffer's ‘Five Finger Exercise’ and ‘The Rocky Horror Show’ in 1979 – and the venue continues to peddle a mix of hard-hitters and comedies. Having played host to many of Pinter's plays , it was renamed the Harold Pinter Theatre in 2011.

READ OUR STEPHEN SONDHEIM INTERVIEW Move over ‘Mormon’. On yer bike, ‘Once’. There’s a new West End musical that’s better than the both of you. Admittedly, I say ‘new’ – ‘Merrily We Roll Along’ is actually 32 years old. But Maria Friedman’s revival marks...

On 27 November we saw "A Chorus of Disapproval". A good experience although we felt it was held together by Rob Brydon's excellent performance. The downside was the theatre bar. My wife bought two small glasses of wine and was charged an exorbitant £14. The previous evening we had enjoyed wine on The Strand at about half the price.Possibly the theatre is instigating the Government's unit price alcohol pricing policy in advance ? I tried to email the theatre but cannot find an email address !

The worst ever play. Cheap production. The actors could not act at all. It is not a comedy at all rather a very bad written tragedy if someone thinks the money you spent and. Personnel also very roud and very unhelpful.
