HISTORY |
St Martins Theatre
St Martins Theatre - Designed as a companion next to the adjacent Ambassadors Theatre, these two theatres are actually very different. In contrast to the decorative plasterwork seen in the Ambassadors Theatre auditorium, St Martins Theatre has a polished wood interior, unique in the West End. Productions here have included the premiere production of the popular JB Priestly play When We Are Married in 1938. In 1945 Edward Percy's murder tale The Shop At Sly Corner enjoyed a run of 863 performances. More recently Anthony Shaffer's thriller Sleuth had a run of 3 years starting in 1970. The theatre was renovated in 1961.The theatre is best known for it's current production of Agatha Christie's The Mousetrap which originally opened at the Ambassadors Theatre on 25th November, 1952 before transferring to the St Martins Theatre.
