Former National Theatre Bosses Nicholas Hytner And Nick Starr To Open London’s First New Theatre In 20 Years

“While there are 17 other theatres of comparable size (800-1,099 seats) in greater London, with 15 of those in inner London, the new building would be the first large-scale theatre in the heart of the capital since the erection of Shakespeare’s Globe in 1997, and the first large-scale commercial playhouse to be built since the New London was created in Drury Lane in 1973.”
