About London Theatre Company

London Theatre Company is a commercial theatre producing company led by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr. Our intention is to create a culture, ethos and economic model that supports writers, directors, designers and actors to work at scale in a space that is complementary to those of the subsidised theatre and West End. A new venue in King’s Cross, Lightroom, opened in 2023.

About the Bridge Theatre

The Bridge is London Theatre Company’s first new theatre. It has a stunning riverside location on the south bank of the Thames, right by Tower Bridge and five minutes’ walk from the transport hub of London Bridge station. It is designed by Haworth Tompkins, winners of the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre. It has 900+ seats and can be configured in end-stage, thrust and promenade formats.

The Bridge opened for the first time in October 2017, and has since produced a variety of plays, musicals and events including A German Life, a one-woman show starring Maggie Smith. My Name is Lucy Barton, performed by Laura Linney, and Straight Line Crazy, with a cast led by Ralph Fiennes, both transferred to New York. The Bridge's first musical, an award-winning immersive reimagining of Guys & Dolls, played for 2 years, closing in January 2025. This was followed by Richard II starring Jonathan Bailey, a revival of our hit 2019 production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and Simon Stone’s The Lady From The Sea, featuring Alicia Vikander and Andrew Lincoln. A new production of Stephen Sondheim’s musical Into The Woods opened in December 2025 and will play until Spring 2026.
