Description
Wyndham's Theatre is a playhouse in London's Charing Cross area with four tiers of seating and 750 seats in neoclassical style. The interior shows red upholstery and gilded ornamentation across multiple gallery levels.
History
The building was designed by W.G.R. Sprague in 1899 and opened with a staging of David Garrick. The hall changed ownership several times and received major renovation in 2008 under Cameron Mackintosh.
Culture
The building carries the name of British actor Charles Wyndham, who also performed in its opening production. Visitors today experience a compact performance space with close connection between audience and performers.
