Time Out says

From unpromising origins as a staff changing room for a Spaghetti House, Jermyn Street Theatre has risen to become a home for fringe shows that's as close as it gets (physically, anyway) to the West End. Under new artistic director Tom Littler, its 70-seater space houses a mix of rarely-performed vintage dramas, new comedies, chamber musicals and the odd Shakespeare, part of a highbrow line-up that often has a slightly stuffier air than your average risk-taking fringe venue. Not that there's anything literally stuffy about Jermyn Street Theatre: it's website proudly announces that the venue is fully air-conditioned.

What’s on

Ragdoll

Following the surprise West End transfer success of her debut play Farm Hall, playwright Katherine Moar returns to Jermyn Street Theatre for her second. Ragdoll is another historical drama (kind of), being inspired by the trial of Patty Hearst the 19-year-old heiress who became a media sensation after being abducted by a leftwing terrorist organisation and subsequently tried for crimes she says she was coerced into. The names have been changed here – presumably because people involved includung Hearst are still alive – but there’s no pretence about what it’s based on. Josh Seymour directs.
