About The Theatre<\/a> Seating Plan<\/a><\/p>\n

Located in Panton Street in Westminster, the Harold Pinter Theatre is a West End house that was initially used exclusively as a comic opera house. Named the Royal Comedy Theatre when it first opened in 1881, the Harold Pinter Theatre was designed by famed architect Thomas Verity. Construction work was completed in just six months and three years after its opening, the theatre was renamed the Comedy Theatre. The theatre underwent a major renovation in the mid 1950s and reopened in 1955 but retained the auditorium layout of the original. The Harold Pinter Theatre is also famous for the part it played in helping abolish the outdated Theatres Act 1843 by establishing the New Watergate Club in 1956, which simplified the rules of stage censorship. In 2011, the theatre was renamed after famous British playwright and actor, Harold Pinter and housed many of his works. The theatre was Grade II listed by the English Heritage in 1973 and is presently owned by the Ambassador Theatre Group.<\/p>\n

While the Harold Pinter Theatre was originally meant to host comedy operas, it ventured out to all types of plays and musicals later in its existence. Some iconic productions hosted at the theatre include Monsieur Beaucaire, Sunday, The Dictator, Raffles, Shell Out, This and That, Cat On a Hot Tin Roof, A View From the Bridge, The Homecoming, The Caretaker, Moonlight, No-Man’s Land, and The Hothouse and many others.Our Harold Pinter Theatre seating plan guide has all the information you would need to make your West End experience memorable.<\/p>\n
