Haymarket Theatre Royal

Unlike its West End peers, Theatre Royal Haymarket's repertoire trips along at quite pace. Record-breaking musicals and long-running classics are passed over in favour of straight plays, and the theatre plays host to a healthy clutch of openings each year. An ornate, regal interior, one of the finest in theatreland, sets off classics such as Edward Bond's 'The Sea' and Steven Berkoff's 'On The Waterfront' and you'll likely catch a thesp or celeb in the audience. One for traditional theatre fans.
