With the Waldorf Hotel sandwiched inbetween them, the Aldwych and Strand theatres were originally built to work as a pair.
The Aldwych is probably most noted for being the home of the Royal Shakespeare Company (from 1960 to 1982), and for Ben Travers' famed Aldwych Farces, which played here from 1925 to 1933.
Previous notable productions include Noel Coward's 'Private Lives' starring Joan Collins, the award-winning production of the National Theatre's 'An Inspector Calls' by JB Priestley, and Edward Albee's 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf' starring Diana Rigg and David Suchet. |
