Theatre Royal Stratford

This is a small theatre that holds 460 people on three different levels. The theatre has been in use for over 133 years. In 1953, The Theatre Workshop company made it home, with Joan Littlewood as the theatre director for many years.

The theatre suffered damages from a fire in 1921 but could have been worse. It reopened in 1922 after renovations which managed to save many of its notable features.

“Five Guys Named Moe” was a bit hit for the theatre before the play moved to the West End. Other great successes have been “The Big Life, The Harder They Come, and The Cherry Orchard”.

There are three different rooms within, with seating capacity from 93 to 300 people, and plenty of standing room. The building originally opened in 2001.

The UEL is a public university located in the Newham part of London. There are three campuses in London, with one in Stratford. The campuses gained university status in 1992, with over 19,000 students from 120 different countries in attendance over the years. The Stratford campus is the newest, opened in 2013.
