Theatre

The Ambassadors Theatre is a small theatre with an equally small stage - the depth of the stage is only 6.25 metres. This intimate auditorium has a proscenium arched stage which suits revue style productions. The Ambassadors and St Martin's next door were conceived as companions by their architect WGR Sprague in 1913 - although St Martin's was delayed by three years. This theatre changed its name to The New Ambassadors Theatre in 1999. The Ambassadors is perhaps best known as the original home of the Agatha Christie thriller The Mousetrap which opened here on 25th November 1952 - and stayed until 25th March 1974 when it moved to St Martin's. Notable productions after this include 84 Charing Cross Road and a transfer of The Royal Shakespeare Company's production of Christopher Hamptons play Les Liasons Dangereuses . More recent productions have included revivals of The Killing of Sister George (with Miriam Margolyes) and Dames at Sea (with Kim Criswell, Sara Crowe and Peter Duncan). The New Ambassadors Theatre was used by The Royal Court Theatre between 1996 and 1999 to stage their 'Theatre Upstairs' studio based work while their own theatre in Sloane Square underwent major reconstruction. Since June 1999 the theatre has been used to present short seasons of new work and revivals.
