Opening in 1899 under the name of a great actor of his day, Mr. Charles Wyndham, today it still retains an attractive amount of the original lavish turquoise, cream and gold Louis XVI style interior, complete with a beautifully adorned balcony. A West-End heavyweight of a theatre where Jeremy Irons, Vanessa Regrave and John Gielgud have all performed, its consistently critically acclaimed productions make this venue a popular gem of a playhouse.
