London Theatre Company is a commercial theatre producing company led by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr, with an emphasis on new work. Our intention is to create a culture, ethos and economic model that supports writers, directors, designers and actors to work at scale in a space that is complementary to those of the subsidised theatre and West End. A new venue in King's Cross, Lightroom, has recently opened.

ABOUT THE BRIDGE THEATRE
The Bridge is London Theatre Company's first new theatre. It has a stunning riverside location on the south bank of the Thames, right by Tower Bridge and five minutes' walk from the transport hub of London Bridge station. It is designed by Haworth Tompkins, winners of the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for Liverpool's Everyman Theatre. It has 900+ seats and can be configured in end-stage, thrust and promenade formats.
The Bridge opened for the first time in October 2017, and since then has produced a variety of plays, including A German Life, a one-woman show starring Maggie Smith, and A Midsummer Night's Dream, an immersive reimagining of Shakespeare's classic. My Name is Lucy Barton, performed by Laura Linney, opened on Broadway in January 2020 and Straight Line Crazy with a cast led by Ralph Fiennes, transfers to New York in the autumn of 2022. The Bridge's first musical, an award-winning immersive reimagining of Guys & Dolls played for 2 years, closing in January 2025. Richard II starring Jonathan Bailey plays until May 2025. A revival of our hit immersive production of A Midsummer Night's Dream will open shortly afterwards.
