Now showing at Lyttleton Theatre

Lyttelton Theatre
Southbank
London

The Lyttelton Theatre (named after Oliver Lyttelton, the first chairman of the National Theatre Board) is a proscenium arch design theatre, conventional in its basic shape though not in the quality of its sightlines and acoustics.

From all 890 seats you can see and hear almost equally well from each of its . No seat is further away, here, from the actor's point of command than the distance from the front row of the dress circle in many older, larger theatres.
There are no view-restricting pillars, circle rails, or other obstacles.
Unlike most traditional theatres, the Lyttelton has an adjustable proscenium. You can make it into an open-end stage; add a forestage; or create an orchestra pit for up to 20 musicians.

The Lyttleton Theatre is part of the National Theatre Complex on London's South Bank. The National Theatre comprises three separate auditoria:

The Olivier Theatre (named after the theatre's first artistic director, Lord Laurence Olivier)
The Lyttelton Theatre (named after Oliver Lyttelton, the first chairman of the National Theatre Board)
The Cottesloe Theatre (named after Lord Cottesloe, chairman of the South Bank Theatre Board)

Soon showing: August Osage County (Booking from Friday, 28th November 2008 until Tuesday, 20th January 2009)
