Jermyn Street Theatre

First time I’ve been to Jermyn Street Theatre - went to watch “Mr Wickham”. Small and well preserved theatre. Enjoyed not only the play (fantastic one man show) but also the story of the Theatre itself. A charming and intimate place with different shows thought out the year. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Already planning my next one!

This is an experience ! Cascando is a play originally conceived as a radio play in 1961 and is performed in this way : you wear a cape, with the hood on, and you listen to the play meanwhile you walk for 30 minutes through the streets of St James. You are in a silent procession, walking all at the same pace, in an orderly queue. I loved it ! Please go and see it ! I highly recommend it !

First time to The Jermyn Street Theatre. Staff helpful. Small close space. Good seating and good views from seats Show. The Maids. Intriguing story. Good cast. Well deserved sell out. Second visit to jermyn street, The Outlaying Islands. A story based on a government decision to neutralise enemy land with biological warfare. The real anthrax island was only declared safe in the last decade or so from contamination during the war. The ending is quite similar to a story about missing light house men on a Scottish island. If run again a must see. Excellent cast. Third visit, Ragdoll, inspired by the Patty Hearst case, the kidnapped and brutalised heiress who joins her abusers in a crime spree. Is a story told over half a century. Will the heiress come to the aid of the lawyer who abandoned her after her trial. Excellent cast led by Abigail Cruttenden. Do see.

This is one of the smallest theatres I have visited at 70-100 seats capacity. There is one small doorway that leads to a downwards stairs directly into the auditorium. The front row seats meet the edge of the flat stage. Each actor plays several parts of the musical Extraordinary Women with one actor playing all male parts. All of the actors were well known West End stars so was a good performance. I will be returning for a Christmas show of David Copperfield where a few actors will once again be performing all the major characters.

Been twice now to this tiny theatre. Love it. Both productions one person shows and both terrific. The theatre does interesting and highly original things that are perfect for this intimate theatre. Shout out to the staff too - helpful, welcoming and professional.

What a wonderful little Theatre in the heart of Piccadilly in Jermyn Street! Check out their productions; there is so much quality and variety. We saw Helen Anker in her one woman play "The Essence of Audrey" - the life of Audrey Hepburn - fantastic.

This gem of a place is often host to amazing productions. We went to see The Lonely Londoner and loved it! There are only 70 seats so it was an intimate experience. We were so close to the stage we could hear every gasp and sound in the performance that we very much enjoyed. We also like that they have performances that are earlier in the afternoon which comes in handy for those who need to travel in/out of London. One to keep an eye on for future cultural evenings.

This was our first visit to this smaller theatre on Jermyn street to see David Copperfield great performance by the three actors on stage really enjoyable experience nice seats and pleasant staff we would definitely look forward to visiting again.

Lovely fringe theatre, so tiny, I did not even know it existed! Tucked away opposite Tesco's in Jermyn Street, walked passed here, must be a million times! The toilets are uniquely behind the stage, so at first with the bright lights announcing "Toilets" above the doorway leading off the stage, I thought it was part of the props! But where's the equality, one men's and one unisex? Does not make the queues outside the ladies any shorter, what is the theatre's thinking behind this? Saw the play Dry Land with Q&A afterwards. The play by Ruby Rae Spiegel, who wrote it when she was 21, takes place in a girl's locker room after hours, about friendships and coming of age of two girls, team members in a swimming team. However, there is a controversial DIY abortion scene, which is mesmeric, excruciating, shocking and sad. Where are the parents in all of this? (The day before the Evening Standard reported that a man in his 50s collapsed during the abortion scene). And then afterwards the paunchy caretaker, comes to lock up, clearing the mess as if it was a normal every day work, listening to his headphones. Very disquieting scene.

Tiny theatre tucked away in a basement on Jermyn Street. I went there for the first time this week and enjoyed a brilliant show called "Cautionary Tales for Daughters" by Tanya Holt. Great show with original music and lovely singing and a wonderful piano accompanist in Birgitta Kenyon aka "Fred". The place is tiny and intimate and all the seats are so close to the stage you really feel part of the performance. They serve drinks before and during the interval - wine in plastic cups and all very friendly. I will check out other shows and be back to enjoy the atmosphere again. It's easy to miss - I walked past once before retracing my steps to find it.

Been to see a few productions here and they have always been well acted and scripted. It is very small and you are almost sitting on the stage, you have to walk across it to get to the toilets. I like this, and prefer generally to watch a fringe show in a small theatre than an Andrew Lloyd Weber.

I visited this theatre to see a workshop production (that's a work in progress to oiks like me) put on by some actors, one of whom I'd met at a Stargate SG1 convention (you want names? Suanne Braun, who played Hathor). As such it wasn't really advertised, except by word of mouth. Great show of old musical numbers Anyway, the theatre Though in many ways it has the feel you expect of a traditional theatre little bucket seats, velvet, dark colours it has its differences too. It's actually tiny (only 70 seats), and in a basement (under a restaurant where they have theatre and dinner deals). Do not arrive late! To get to the toilets you have to walk across the stage! When I rang to book I asked for a seat with direct view onto the stage (I have an arthritic neck, so don't do well with angles) and was glad I did, as they have some seats at 90 degrees to the stage. I was in the back row, which suited me fine, but getting in or out was tricky. There was only one entrance to the whole row, so it meant either moving loads of people or climbing over the seats in front. So, not exactly spacious but the atmosphere there that evening was great. Of course it's difficult to know how typical it was, but things seemed pretty friendly and relaxed. You had no choice but to talk to strangers, if only to negotiate getting in and out of your seat! I got an added treat too. Among the 70 of us was Anna Wing, who played Lou Beale on Eastenders. I talked to her after: lovely lady, very friendly, and a little posh in real life. She'd come to see Suanne too. Of course I can't promise you TV stars when you go but I have a feeling it's probably a pretty friendly sort of place even on a normal day. And the list of shows on the website looks interesting, taking in Shakespeare and comedy at the moment. Worth a look as an alternative to the big tourist traps. Cheaper too.
