Description

A unique and modern theatre venue, Trafalgar Studios is constantly welcoming a range of varied and ground-breaking productions. The venue is always striving to showcase new, talented directors and writers and is also associated with Donmar Warehouse Theatre productions. Trafalgar Studios has welcomed productions such as the Royal Shakespeare’s Company’s Othello, Judy Garland’s End of the Rainbow, Three Days in May, Sex With a Stranger, The Leisure Society, Whitehall Farces, Jane Eyre, A Christmas Carol, Sweeny Todd Pyjama Tops and the Greatest Play in the History of the World. Productions at Trafalgar studios often run for a limited time and showcase challenging and innovative new work. With tickets at reasonable prices, it is often a very affordable evening at the West End!

After undergoing renovation in the early 2004, the Trafalgar Studios reopened as two studios: Trafalgar Studios 1 and 2 which both regularly show exciting new plays. IN 1996, the theatre was declared a Grade II listed building by the English Heritage. Located in the heart of central London, Trafalgar Studios is close to several amenities, such as shops, attractions and restaurants. While it has changed hands several times, it is currently owned by the Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG), which manages over 50 theatre venues across the world.

Trafalgar Studio 1

With a capacity of 380 seats, Studio 1 is a flexible space and not split into different sections as it often is in a traditional theatre. 

Seating with best visibility 

Although Trafalgar Studio 1 is not divided into traditional sections, there are some seats with better viewing.

  • Premium seating: this can be found in the mid-centre of the theatre, especially in rows D-G.
  • Discounted seating: If you are looking for slightly cheaper tickets, then these can be found at the rear of the venue as these seats are furthest away from the stage and have slightly restricted viewing. However, the fact that it is a small auditorium means that generally you can enjoy excellent views of the stage.

Trafalgar Studios 2

Trafalgar Studios 2 is a much smaller performance space with a capacity of 98 and is often hosting new talent which would otherwise struggle to run at the West End. 

Seating with best visibility

  • Premium seating: the best and most expensive seats are directly opposite the stage, in row A and B. 
  • Discounted seating: slightly cheaper tickets can be found to the sides, in row D and to the back in Row C. Given that it is such a small performance space, views are generally good and the theatre provides an intimate theatrical experience.
