Harold Pinter Theatre

Harold Pinter Theatre er et af de mange spillesteder i London

du finder her på British Theatre. Inden dit besøg kan du her gå på opdagelse i kommende forestillinger

få praktisk information om teatret og gode råd til din billetbestilling. Harold Pinter Theatre åbnede den 15. oktober 1881 under sit oprindelige navn

The Royal Comedy Theatre. I de tidlige år dannede teatret ramme om operaproduktioner som Falka og Erminie

før det præsenterede revyforestillinger under 1. verdenskrig. Da The New Watergate Club blev dannet i 1956

blev det muligt at opføre skuespil

der tidligere var forbudt under Theatres Act 1843. Det betød

at teatret kunne præsentere de britiske premierer på Tea and Sympathy

A View From the Bridge og Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. Censuren blev løsnet i slutningen af 50'erne

og loven blev endeligt ophævet i 1968. Dette banede vejen for succesfulde opsætninger som Savages i 1973 og West End-debuten af The Rocky Horror Show i 1979. Teatrets to største succeser fandt sted i slutningen af det 20. århundrede: En totalt udsolgt otte-ugers spilleperiode af Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs slog alle publikumsrekorder og blev i 2000 hurtigt fulgt op af en utrolig anmelderrost opsætning af The Caretaker med Michael Gambon i hovedrollen. I de senere år har repertoiret spændt vidt med forestillinger som Donkey’s Years (2006)

Boeing-Boeing (2007-8

som senere flyttede til Broadway og vandt en Tony Award) samt Sunset Boulevard (2008-9). Den 7. september 2011 blev det offentliggjort

at teatret ville skifte navn til Harold Pinter Theatre som en hyldest til dramatikerens indflydelsesrige 50-årige karriere. Blandt Pinter-stykkerne

der er blevet opført på teatret

finder man The Homecoming

The Caretaker

The Collection og The Lover. Pinter selv instruerede i 2005 en opsætning af Simon Grays The Old Masters. Det nye navn trådte officielt i kraft den 14. oktober.

The Harold Pinter Theatre opening on 15 October 1881

under its original name of The Royal Comedy Theatre. It’s early years were host to operatic productions Falka and Erminie

before presenting revue shows throughout World War 1. The formation of The new Watergate Club in 1956 allowed plays previously banned under the Theatres Act 1843 to be performed

which allowed the theatre to host the UK premieres of Tea and Symphony

A View From the Bridge

and Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. The censorship was loosened in the late 50’s and the law was finally revoked in 1968. This allowed the theatre to produce successful shows such as Savages in 1973 and the West End debut of The Rocky Horror Show in 1979. The theatre’s two biggest successes happened at the end of the 20th Century. A sell out eight-week run of Little Malcolm and his Struggle Against the Eunuchs broke box office records

and was quickly followed up in 2000 buy an extremely well received production of The Caretaker starring Michael Gambon. Recent years have seen productions as diverse as Donkey’s Years (2006)

Boeing-Boeing (2007-8

then transferred to Broadway for a Tony-award winning run)

and Sunset Boulevard (2008-9). On September 7 2011

it was announced that the theatre would be renamed the Harold Pinter Theatre

in tribute to the writer’s influential 50-year career. Pinter plays produced at the theatre have included The Homecoming

The Caretaker

The Collection and the Lover. Pinter himself directed a 2005 production of The Old Masters by Simon Gray. The new name came into effect on October 14.
