THE DONMAR WAREHOUSE is a 250-seat subsidised (not for profit) theatre located in the heart of London’s West End with a reputation as one of the UK’s leading producing theatres.
Under the artistic leadership of Michael Grandage, the theatre has presented some of London’s most memorable award-winning theatrical experiences, as well as garnered critical acclaim at home and abroad.
The theatre has a diverse artistic policy that includes new writing, contemporary reappraisals of European classics, British and American drama and small scale musical theatre.
Over the last 17 years the theatre has created a reputation associated with artistic excellence: it has showcased the talent of some of the industry’s premier creative artists, and built an unparalleled catalogue of work.
As well as presenting at least six productions a year at its home in Covent Garden, the Donmar presents work nationally and internationally. Every year the Donmar tours one in-house production in the UK, FROST/NIXON toured across the US.
The Donmar also undertook a year-long residency in the West End at the Wyndham's Theatre which led to a Broadway transfer of HAMLET. PARADE transferred to LA and PIAF is playing in Madrid following a successful engagement in Argentina. Most recently RED opened on Broadway to critical acclaim, winning six Tony awards at the 2010 ceremony.
Donmar-generated productions have received 35 Olivier Awards, 23 Critics’ Circle Awards, 21 Evening Standard Awards, two South Bank Award and 20 Tony Awards from ten Broadway productions.
