History:
Originally conceived as a pair with the adjacent St Martins Theatre, the outbreak of World War I interfered with planning and so the Ambassadors predates its partner by three years.
The Ambassadors Theatre is one of the West End’s more intimate venues and as such has seen many transfers from other London theatres including Little Shop of Horrors (2007) and its current production Stomp which transferred in 2007 after four years at the Vaudeville Theatre.
Agatha Christie’s The Mousetrap, the longest running show in theatre history began at the Ambassadors in 1952, moving to its larger neighbour the St Martins after an already triumphant twelve year run in 1974.
Other notable productions have included The Mask of Virtue (1935) which saw Vivien Leigh make her West End debut, Kate Bett’s On The Third Day (2006) which won Channel 4’s televised play competition The Play’s the Thing, and a landmark revival of Samuel Beckett’s Waiting For Godot (2006).
