Cambridge Arts Theatre, Grade II listed theatre in central Cambridge, England
The Cambridge Arts Theatre features a traditional auditorium with 666 seats and presents drama, dance, opera, and pantomime performances throughout the year.
Economist John Maynard Keynes established the theatre in 1936, financing it through a share scheme and personally underwriting the remaining construction costs.
The theatre serves as a performance venue for Cambridge University groups, including the Marlowe Society, Footlights, and the triennial Cambridge Greek Play.
The venue maintains advanced stage lighting equipment and modern facilities, following renovations in 2013 that improved the front-of-house and bar areas.
Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party received its first performance at this theatre in 1958, marking a significant moment in British theatrical history.
