Photo Flash: Bridge Theatre Welcomes First Ever Audience
Tonight (Saturday 14 October 2017) Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr welcomed the first ever audience to the newly built Bridge Theatre situated on the river by Tower Bridge and City Hall. In advance of official previews beginning next week (18 October 2017), tonight an audience of Bridge and Young Bridge members were invited to try out the building for the first time.
As well as seeing Young Marx, the opening production at the Bridge - a new play by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman, directed by Nicholas Hytner - the audience of over nine hundred people experienced the theatre's in-house bar, café and up to date facilities.
The flagship theatre of the London Theatre Company, the Bridge is London's first theatre of scale to be added to London's commercial theatre stock in eighty years.
London Theatre Company commissioned the new theatre from architect Steve Tompkins and his colleague Roger Watts from Haworth Tompkins. The Bridge auditorium is a collaboration between Haworth Tompkins, LTC and Tait Stage Technologies.
