> About the Playhouse Theatre |
Auditorium The large capacity auditorium is perfect for conferences, lectures, showcases and comedy nights. The opulent interior is decorated in rich reds, bright golds and milky creams, beautifully off-set by two eccentric full size lanterns in the main auditorium, and grand, elaborate chandeliers hanging in both boxes. In-keeping with the Dress and Upper Circle bars, stunning murals adorn the walls, representing the Italian tradition of Comedia dell’arte on one side, and Shakespeare’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream on the other. The grand and eccentric decor, combines with the intimacy of the auditorium, has turned the Playhouse into a favourite for many West End actors. Wonderfully adaptable, the auditorium can cater for all manner of hires. With a stunning setting and a first-rate team, the Playhouse is home to many returning events.
Foyer/Box Office Light and spacious, the beautifully decorated foyer is a popular location for photo-shoots. The neutral walls, chequered marble floor, gold, red and wooden detail, and large gilt mirrors make for a grand and impressive entrance to the venue.
