Venue info

El Harold Pinter Theatre es un teatro de Londres destacado en British Theatre. Descubre los próximos espectáculos, información práctica sobre el recinto y consejos para reservar entradas antes de tu visita. El Teatro Harold Pinter abrió sus puertas el 15 de octubre de 1881, bajo su nombre original de The Royal Comedy Theatre. En sus primeros años fue el escenario de producciones operáticas como Falka y Erminie, antes de presentar espectáculos de revista durante la Primera Guerra Mundial. La creación del nuevo Watergate Club en 1956 permitió representar obras previamente prohibidas bajo el Acta de Teatros de 1843, lo que permitió al teatro acoger los estrenos en el Reino Unido de Tea and Symphony, A View From the Bridge, y Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. La censura se relajó a finales de los años 50 y finalmente la ley fue revocada en 1968. Esto permitió al teatro producir espectáculos exitosos como Savages en 1973 y el debut en el West End de The Rocky Horror Show en 1979. Los dos mayores éxitos del teatro ocurrieron a finales del siglo XX. Una temporada de ocho semanas con entradas agotadas de Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs rompió récords de taquilla, y fue rápidamente seguida en 2000 por una producción muy bien recibida de The Caretaker protagonizada por Michael Gambon. En años recientes se han visto producciones tan diversas como Donkey's Years (2006), Boeing-Boeing (2007-8, trasladada luego a Broadway para una exitosa temporada galardonada con un Tony) y Sunset Boulevard (2008-9). El 7 de septiembre de 2011, se anunció que el teatro sería renombrado como Teatro Harold Pinter, en tributo a la influyente carrera de 50 años del escritor. Las obras de Pinter producidas en el teatro han incluido The Homecoming, The Caretaker, The Collection y The Lover. El propio Pinter dirigió una producción en 2005 de The Old Masters de Simon Gray.

History

The Harold Pinter Theatre opening on 15 October 1881, under its original name of The Royal Comedy Theatre. It’s early years were host to operatic productions Falka and Erminie, before presenting revue shows throughout World War 1. The formation of The new Watergate Club in 1956 allowed plays previously banned under the Theatres Act 1843 to be performed, which allowed the theatre to host the UK premieres of Tea and Symphony, A View From the Bridge, and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. The censorship was loosened in the late 50’s and the law was finally revoked in 1968.

This allowed the theatre to produce successful shows such as Savages in 1973 and the West End debut of The Rocky Horror Show in 1979. The theatre’s two biggest successes happened at the end of the 20th Century. A sell out eight-week run of Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs broke box office records, and was quickly followed up in 2000 buy an extremely well received production of The Caretaker starring Michael Gambon.

Recent years have seen productions as diverse as Donkey’s Years (2006), Boeing-Boeing (2007-8, then transferred to Broadway for a Tony-award winning run) , and Sunset Boulevard (2008-9).

On September 7 2011, it was announced that the theatre would be renamed the Harold Pinter Theatre, in tribute to the writer’s influential 50-year career. Pinter plays produced at the theatre have included The Homecoming, The Caretaker, The Collection and the Lover. Pinter himself directed a 2005 production of The Old Masters by Simon Gray. The new name came into effect on October 14.

One of londons oldest theatres which was actually the Comedy theatre way back when. Great venue for plays. Attended for High Noon production and what an amazing production. Billy Crudup was amazing as were the rest of the cast. I think besides BC and Rosa Salazar were Brits whose American accents seemed spot on. 👍🏾

I loved the play High Noon. 🤠 The theatre was a lot smaller than expected which I liked. However there was a pole directly in front of me. Thankfully I was a le to move seats since the show wasn't fully booked. I like that the beer is served in a glass. Access to the gents is somewhat awkward.

We just had the privilege of attending a matinee of the Weir, starring Brendan Gleason, it was fantastic. We have been lucky enough to have visited this great theatre many times over the past 20 years or so and had a great experience every time. This lovely theatre has super staff, just a heads up to visitors, the lovely stalls bar is quite tight for space, the staff are really lovely but you need to be ok with lots of folk in a small area. Folks, Do mind yourselves and take care when moving about the stalls areas and walkways as folks can take things at a rush and not always paying a heed to the safety of older folks or those less able. Thanks to lovely staff and all cast and crew for this outstanding show.

I watched High Noon today and absolutely loved it. The play was very engaging, with incredible chemistry between the actors. The story completely pulls you in. Don’t miss the January discounts when buying tickets!
