wo main tiers of steeply raked seats − flanked by side-banks on a higher level − sweep down to the stage. In spite of its size, the Olivier has a concentrated intimacy.

April 2024Hasn't the time to attend 'Nye' but enjoyed the tour of the National Theatre. The layout of the theatre itself really opens itself to the tour, as well as the information panels around the place. Beautiful purpose-built auditoria.

March 2024My first ever visit to the National Theatre and was very impressed. The seating was excellent with adequate room for my legs, my view of the stage was excellent. It's true I had a good seat but looking around the theatre it didn't seem like there were any bad seats unlike old theatres. I saw a new play called Nye about Nye Bevan starring Michael Sheene which was superb. A great venue and I will definitely go again.

March 2024Always a treat to catch a show here. I have never been disappointed, such good value. Brilliant production, well staffed, plenty of seating in foyer areas, even the queue for the toilets moved pretty quickly. And to top it all off, right next to the a brilliant view of the Thames in all it's glory. My friend and I had a quick dinner in the ground floor cafe, very nice and convenient.

May 2024Greath theatre with so many great shows. Has a book shop inside and coffee shop as well as bars for that crucial interval drink. Also very worth a picture from the balcony to get that spectacular view over the Thames and the London skyline

May 2024Excellent venue! Seats were a little small and very firm, but theater has great sound and all seats had a good view of the stage. I also very much liked the shop.
