London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
Frank Matcham's red terracotta theatre on Richmond Green, opened in 1899 with As You Like It.
PlayhousesWorth it for the building
Matcham built about eighty theatres and this is one of the few left more or less as he meant it - red terracotta and brick outside, an elaborate painted auditorium of 840 seats inside, protected at the higher grade. It opened on 18 September 1899, and it sits on the edge of Richmond Green, which is the other reason to go.
What is on is mostly touring: plays and musicals on their way round the country, a week at a time, with concerts and children's shows between them and a pantomime at Christmas that has been running long enough to be its own institution. It is a receiving house rather than a producing one, so the programme changes every Monday.
