Welcome to the Shaftesbury Theatre. We are the largest independent theatre in the West End and have been presenting high quality large-scale productions for over a century. The Theatre is currently undergoing an extensive refurbishment project to make our beautiful Edwardian building fit for the 21st Century. Details of this can be found on the Dramatic Transformation page. We are proud to be one of the West End’s leading forces and look forward to welcoming you through our doors to see one of our shows soon.
If you’re coming to see & JULIET this weekend or over the coming weeks, please be aware that there are extensive roadworks in the area around the Theatre. You might need to allow more time for your journey, especially on public transport.

If you are coming to the Theatre this evening, please be aware that there is an Extinction Rebellion protest happening outside the Brazilian embassy. This is causing some disruption and road closures in the Trafalgar Square area. Please allow extra time for your journey.
Last week at the Shaftesbury we were very happy to host Thea, a work experience student from Year 10. Thea spent around a day with each department in the Theatre, including Stage, Lighting and Front of House. She had a fantastic time and very kindly agreed to answer some questions for us about her placement....
