Harold Pinter Theatre, Victorian theatre in West End, London, England
The Harold Pinter Theatre features three tiers of horseshoe-shaped balconies within its auditorium, maintaining the original 1881 architectural design by Thomas Verity.
The theatre opened as the Royal Comedy Theatre in 1881 and underwent a major reconstruction in 1955 while preserving elements of its historical architecture.
The venue changed its name from Comedy Theatre to Harold Pinter Theatre in 2011 to recognize the contributions of the influential British playwright.
The theatre seats 796 people and stands near Piccadilly Circus, with multiple public transportation options available for accessing performances.
The Jamie Lloyd Company presents modern interpretations of classical texts at this Grade II listed building, including productions with actor James McAvoy.
