Lyric Hammersmith

The Lyric Hammersmith provides a beautiful 550 seat 19th century classical auditorium in West London that presents some of the most original nights out at the theatre to be found in London with free first nights, £9 nights and generous concessions, the theatre work to ensure that the audience is as various as the city.

The theatre encourages contemporary theatre-makers to be inspired by its uniquely vivid and intimate relationship between stage and audience. The work in this space is rarely, if ever, "new writing" in the usual script-based sense of the word, but usually develops from direct relationships with directors, designers or companies who want to explore the full theatrical potential of the space.

As well as the productions the theatre makes itself, the Lyric also works with some of the most exciting theatre companies in Britain and abroad.
