Richmond Theatre, designed by Frank Matcham, opened in 1899 and continues to attract first-class companies and famous names including Andrew Scott, Jonathan Pryce, Sir Ian McKellen, and comedians such as Jimmy Carr, Nina Conti, and Al Murray. We are primarily a playhouse but also host musicals, stand-up, ballet, opera, and pantomime across the year. The venue has also been used in many TV and film productions including Downton Abbey, Ted Lasso, and Killing Eve just to name a few.
