Jermyn Street Theatre, Studio theatre in City of Westminster, England
Jermyn Street Theatre occupies a converted restaurant cellar with 70 seats arranged in an underground performance space designed for close theatrical productions. The compact setting creates an intimate relationship between performers and audience members.
The venue opened in 1994 when Howard Jameson and Penny Horner converted basement spaces of a restaurant and tavern into a performance center. This transformation marked the beginning of its ongoing role as a theatrical space.
The space hosts both classical revivals and new works, creating a blend of established and contemporary dramatic voices. Audiences encounter a diverse range of theatrical productions that reflect different eras and styles of playwriting.
The theatre sits below street level and is accessed via stairs, so plan for going downstairs to enter the venue. Limited seating means it is wise to reserve tickets in advance to secure a good viewing spot.
The venue is known for staging substantial theatrical works within its tiny space, including a complete West End revival of Noël Coward's 'Tonight at 8.30'. A single cast of nine actors embodied 73 different roles in this complex production.
