The Questors Theatre, Amateur theatre in Ealing, United Kingdom
The Questors Theatre is an amateur theatre in Ealing with two performance spaces: the Judi Dench Playhouse seats around 350 people, while a smaller studio theatre holds about 90. Each space allows different types of productions to be staged simultaneously or in succession.
Founded in 1929 by 17 amateur actors, the theatre relocated to a new building in 1964 that was opened by Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. This relocation marked an important shift in how the company could produce and present its work.
The theatre serves as a hub for amateur performers and students learning stagecraft, with regular productions that reflect both timeless plays and contemporary writing. The venue's setup encourages close interaction between those on stage and those watching.
The theatre sits about 8 minutes' walk from Ealing Broadway station, making it convenient to reach. You'll find a cafe on the upper foyer level and a bar downstairs where you can grab refreshments before or after shows.
The building incorporates one of Britain's first thrust stages, designed in 1964 to place actors and audience in close physical proximity. This architectural feature continues to shape how performances feel and unfold at the venue today.
