The Aldwych Theatre is a
theatre on Aldwych in the West End of London.
The theatre was built as a pair with the Waldorf Theatre
(now called the Novello Theatre), both being designed by
W.G.R. Sprague.
Funded by Seymour Hicks and built by Walter Wallis of
Balham, the Aldwych theatre opened on December 23, 1905
with a production of Blue Bell.
In 1960, after intense speculation, it was announced
that the Royal Shakespeare Company of
Stratford-upon-Avon was to base its London productions
in the Aldwych Theatre for the next three years. In fact
they stayed for over 20 years, finally moving to the
Barbican in 1982.
The current capacity is around 1,150.
The theatre is referred to in Julio Cortázar's short
story Instructions for John Howell (Instrucciones para
John Howell) in the anthology All Fires the Fire (Todos
los fuegos el fuego).
