Royal Court Theatre

Kensington & Hyde Park


Equally renowned for staging innovative new plays and old classics, the Royal Court is among London’s most-progressive theatres and has continued to foster major writing talent across the UK for over 60 years. There are two auditoriums: the main Jerwood Theatre Downstairs and the much-smaller studio Jerwood Theatre Upstairs. Tickets for Monday performances are £12.

A limited number of restricted-view standing places go on sale one hour before each Jerwood Theatre Downstairs performance for just 10p each. Contact the theatre to check on availability. If you'd like to tread the floorboards, get in touch with the theatre for details of their occasional backstage tours.
