Donmar Warehouse
With a capacity of just 250, the Donmar Warehouse is a fringe-theatre-sized and hugely popular West End venue which now-Hollywood film director Sam Mendes (AMERICAN BEAUTY) put on the international map when he became artistic director in 1992. Not quite experimental, the theatre stages adventurous and high-quality revivals of the classics as well as modern dramatic plays, with comedies not such a priority. More often than not the productions sell out — sometimes owing to famous-film-actor cast members. The YOUNG+FREE scheme is the theatre's one concessional offering at the moment.

Add a reviewNot easy to get tickets. Order them online. Audience sits on long padded benches. I saw The Chalk Garden with Penelope Wilton and the late Margaret Tyzek. I tried to get tickets for Mary Stuart with Janet McTeer and Harriet Walter, but it was sold out. I managed to see it later on Broadway. Great theater!

A less worthy-heavy and pedantic theatre experience than what you often find at the Almeida and the Royal Court. And you can walk three minutes to Soho for a drink afterwards.
