THE NOËL COWARD THEATRE

In 1920, Noël Coward made his West End debut as a playwright in ‘I’ll Leave It To You’ at the New Theatre. In 2006, the theatre was renamed the Noël Coward Theatre in his honour.

Brief History:

The Noël Coward Theatre, formerly known as the Albery Theatre, is a West End theatre in St. Martin's Lane in the City of Westminster, London. It opened on 12 March 1903 as the New Theatre and was built by Sir Charles Wyndham behind Wyndham's Theatre which was completed in 1899. The building was designed by the architect W. G. R. Sprague with an exterior in the classical style and an interior in the Rococo style.

Since September 2005, the theatre has been owned by Delfont-Mackintosh Ltd. and was renamed the Noël Coward Theatre when it re-opened on 1 June 2006 following major refurbishment.
