About The Venue

Hampstead Theatre, founded in 1959, is a renowned London venue dedicated to new writing, often premiering significant plays and nurturing emerging talent. Originally a 'theatre in the round' in a hut, it moved to a purpose-built, modern and intimate venue in Swiss Cottage in 2003. It boasts a vibrant atmosphere, consistently delivering innovative and thought-provoking productions.

Seating

Starting right at the edge of the stage, the Stalls serve as the primary seating block on the ground floor. Thanks to the auditorium's compact layout and a modern, steep rake, audiences enjoy exceptionally clear views from every single row, meaning your sightline is highly unlikely to be obstructed by the heads of patrons sitting in front of you. For the absolute best experience, Centre seats in Rows C through F are highly coveted, offering a perfectly balanced, eye-level perspective of the entire performance.
