Lyttelton Theatre

Named after Oliver Lyttelton (the National Theatre's first board chairman), The Lyttelton Theatre is situated in the National Theatre complex on the South Bank.  The venue has a proscenium arch design and has an audience capacity of 890.

The Royal National Theatre (commonly known as 'The National Theatre') is one of the UK's two most prominent publicly funded theatre companies, alongside the 'RSC'. The company was based in The Old Vic from 1963 until 1976.

The theatre was designed by Sir Denys Lasdun and Peter Softley, and contains 3 stages which opened individually between 1976 and 1977 and present a variety of works, including plays by Shakespeare and international classic dramas.  New plays by contemporary playwrights are performed with each auditorium in the theatre staging up to three shows in repertoire, thus widening the amount of productions that can be performed during any single season.
