Harold Pinter Theatre
The Royal Comedy Theatre, as it was then known, opened on 15 October 1881.The range of work at the Comedy Theatre has been far reaching, from musical comedies to revival and experimental theatre and includes hugely successful shows such as 'Savages' starring Paul Scofield in 1973 and 'The Rocky Horror Show' making its West End debut in 1979. Alan Bennett has appeared with Patricia Routledge in his 'Talking Heads' and Stockard Channing appeared in 'Six Degrees of Separation', which won best play at the 1993 Olivier Awards. No history of the Comedy Theatre would be complete without reference to Harold Pinter. The 'Homecoming', 'No- man''s Land', 'Moonlight', 'The Hothouse' and 'The Caretaker' have all been presented in recent years.
