The Bridge Theatre was founded in 2017 by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr. The primary focus of the Bridge Theatre is the commissioning and production of new shows, while also staging the occasional popular classic.
The 900-seat auditorium has been designed for flexibility. It can be adapted to accommodate a variety of performance styles, resulting in successful immersive theatre as well as the more traditional end-on and thrust- stage productions. The Bridge is the first brand-new commercial theatre of scale to open in London in 80 years.
The venue can be hired out for private events and hosted the Stage Awards in 2019.
