Bridge Theatre


The Bridge Theatre is a commercial theatre near Tower Bridge in London that opened in October 2017. It was developed by Nick Starr and Nicholas Hytner as the home of the London Theatre Company, which they founded following their tenancy as executive director and artistic director, respectively, at the National Theatre.

Format

The theatre seats 900 and is a flexible space to accommodate each production. For example, the opening production, Young Marx, featured a traditional proscenium arrangement, Julius Caesar, A Midsummer Night's Dream and Guys and Dolls had the stalls seating removed with the audience standing around moving and raising platforms offering an in-the-round immersive experience in promenade and Nightfall was performed on a thrust stage. It was reported that the theatre cost £12 million to build.
