Book

One of the reasons why so many tourists come to London is to go to its theatres. At the moment those theatres have an uncomfortable number of musicals, but there is still plenty of serious drama both in main and fringe theatres to be seen.

London enjoys a magnificent theatrical heritage and some of the most remarkable performers. With the aid of over 200 illustrations, this book tells its comprehensive story from Tudor times to the present day, examining the personalities, buildings, trends, performances, heydays and down days. From the 'Wooden 0' of Shakespeare's day to the new Globe on Bankside.
