Gielgud Theatre review

Known as the Globe Theatre until 1994 - when it was renamed after the legendary actor John Gielgud ahead of the opening of Shakespeare's Globe on the South Bank - the Gielgud is a fine example of Sprague design. The eminent architect behind the Lyceum, Aldwych and Novello among others was well regarded for his elegant, classical flourishes and the Gielgud is no exception. Strikingly situated at the corner of Rupert Street on Shaftesbury Avenue, the Gielgud has a reputation for staging solid British dramas from Alan Ayckbourn premieres to Alan Bennett's psychedelic 'Enjoy'.
