Evolution
Bâtiment: The theatre was, along with the adjacent St Martin's conceived by their architect, W. G. R. Sprague, as companions, born at the same time in 1913, but the First World War interrupted the construction of the latter for three years. The Ambassadors was built with the intention of being an intimate, smaller theatre and is situated opposite the renowned restaurant The Ivy, favourite haunt of the theatrical elite.
The theatre was Grade II listed by English Heritage in March 1973.
Nom: In 1999 the theatre was renamed The New Ambassadors Theatre, then in June 2007 the theatre reverted back to its original name of The Ambassadors Theatre.

1913 - Actif
A brief glance at erudite works on architecture such as James Stevens Curl’s Oxford Dictionary of Architecture (1999) or Nikolaus Pevsner’s Buildings of England series (various dates from 1951) Is sufficient to show how rare it is to find more than passing reference to the great theatre architects, such as W. G. R. Sprague and C. J. Phipps - neither of whom rates space in the Oxford Dictionary - and the unsurpassed Frank Matcham - who is allotted a grudging eight lines. Sprague, subordinate to Matcham only in physical stature, was commissioned in 1912 to design the Ambassadors for Ambassadors Theatre Ltd, to be followed (three years later) by St Martin's Theatre, the two being separated by Tower Court (formerly Lumber Court), a pedestrian footway.
It is not readily apparent from the street, but the planning of the Ambassadors is the work of a master. The site is extremely restricted, to the north by the long established West Street Chapel, built around 1700 for French Protestant refugees and closely associated with John and Charles Wesley; to the south by Lumber Court; and upwards by a serious height limitation in respect of the law of Ancient Lights, namely the right of a building's owner to have daylight fall on his established windows - (a right struggled with some years later by Ewen Barr when he designed the Duchess Theatre in 1929). Thus it is that the later theatre, unhampered by any such height restriction, overshadows the earlier Ambassadors - but ironically the pair are now totally dominated by Orion House, a ponderous 14-storey block designed by Renton Howard Wood Levine Partnership (1990).
Small buildings and a comer pub were demolished to provide this vacant plot In an area where many artisan houses had been cleared to make way, in particular, for Sandringham Buildings, opposite the theatre. Opened by the Prince and Princess of Wales In 1884, these Gothic-style dwellings were designed to house some 1,500 poorer residents - a ready-made audience of working people earning an adequate amount of money and often quite happy to spend some of it at the playhouse.
The low-rise, three-storey stuccoed theatre, painted yellow and very pale blue, is entered on the angle, under a continuous canopy. The very restrained classical main elevation which curves into Tower Court Is articulated by four central pilasters, flanked by more prominent channelled pllastered wings under segmental pediments. A single-bay wing repeats in Tower Court. The pretty foyer Is of necessity small-scale; the deceptively grand Louis XVI-style auditorium, now painted cream apart from coloured ambassadorial crests at high level, was described In 1913 as being Parma violet, ivory and dull gold. The shallow curve of the dress circle, with Its panelled front enhanced by bay-leaf swags and plain shields, has been placed unusually close to the proscenium. To the rear of the dress circle a second small circle Is provided as a raised tier, and the shallow-domed auditorium ceiling is ornamented with heavily ribboned leaf decoration and central swags of fruit, flowers and musical Instruments. Above the foyer Is a small, cosy and quite attractive dress-circle bar. Of the timber stage machinery nothing survives.
Vivien Leigh made her West End debut here in 1935, the Blitz failed to close the doors, and The Mousetrap, now In Its 59th year, was launched from here in November 1952. The play moved next door to the St Martins Theatre In 1974, since when outstanding productions have Included 84 Charing Cross Road and The Killing of Sister George, starring Miriam Margolyes.

Commentaire: Transfert du RSC.
Written by South African actor, activist and playwright John Kani (Black Panther, The Island, Sizwe Banzi is Dead), this refreshingly funny and vital new play premiered in the Swan Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon in 2019. It is directed by Janice Honeyman (Vice Versa; The Tempest, 2009) with exceptionally moving performances from fellow South African Antony Sher (King Lear, 2016 and 2018; Death of a Salesman) and John Kani. (plus)
Presse: ★★★★★GUARDIAN
‘Poignant two-hander illuminates post-apartheid South Africa’
GUARDIAN
‘John Kani beautifully captures the complex divides of race, class and politics in a remarkable and moving new play’
GUARDIAN
‘Directed by Janice Honeyman…with exquisite delicacy’
GUARDIAN
‘Offers a rich portrait of a relationship and a society’
GUARDIAN
‘It contains two great performances: [Antony] Sher…captures all of the old actor’s testiness, insecurity and his Lear-like moral awakening’
GUARDIAN
‘[John] Kani is equally magnificent in showing how Kunene’s dignified forbearance… conceals a deep anger at the cruelty and injustice created by apartheid and at the persistent inequalities in South African life’
★★★★WHATSONSTAGE
‘Director Janice Honeyman…is blessed with the play’s author, John Kani, and recent RSC Lear Antony Sher…two terrific performances’
WHATSONSTAGE
‘[John] Kani has a deft ability to weave comedy and pathos together, with some killer moments and a nice line in humour’
WHATSONSTAGE
‘There are some beautiful touches across the production, including Lungiswa Plaatjies' haunting vocals, which bring authentic life to Neo Muyanga's music, a surprisingly conventional but effective set from designer Birrie Le Roux and some impressive lighting and sound effects from Mannie Manim and Jonathan Ruddick respectively’
WHATSONSTAGE
‘Electrifying’
★★★★THE STAGE
‘John Kani's clever and compassionate character study’
THE STAGE
‘[John] Kani’s writing remains deeply incisive, full of both anger and understanding’
THE STAGE
‘Director Janice Honeyman lets each scene develop in its own time, lifting meandering conversations with a good dose of gallows humour to get the most out of the play’s wrenching emotional shifts’
THE STAGE
‘[John] Kani plays semi-retired nurse Kunene, shouldering unhealable emotional scars but remaining a beacon of warmth and dignity’
THE STAGE
‘Antony Sher’s cantankerous Morris, an ageing actor with advanced liver cancer…tackles this complicated character with real skill, equally terrified and outraged by the fact of his own mortality’
THE STAGE
‘Lungiswa Plaatjies plays traditional instruments and sings with a lilting but resonant voice. At one point, she belts out a completely transporting vocal evocation of a summer storm, perfectly capturing the rumble of thunder and the hiss of falling hail’
★★★★THE TIMES
‘[Antony Sher] is huge in this RSC production, arriving with mortality clinging to his clothes and hair like cigarette smoke’
THE TIMES
‘It’s electrified by its clear-eyed political reckoning, by passion and by fine performances’
THE TIMES
‘There’s a musicality to the way these actors work together’
THE TIMES
‘The writing is rich and raw’
THE TIMES
‘A shattering head-to-head between two citizens of the same country’
THE TIMES
‘Engrossing, and executed with consummate skill’
★★★★FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Antony Sher… is compelling to watch’
FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Director Janice Honeyman’s production culminates in a storm, with juddering live sound from Lungiswa Plaatjies’
FINANCIAL TIMES
‘Twenty-five years since apartheid ended, it’s fascinating and necessary to see [John] Kani bring things up to date’
★★★★THE OBSERVER
‘[John] Kani’s powerful new drama’
THE OBSERVER
‘They both deliver “Friends Romans, countrymen”: [Antony] Sher speaks in English, [John] Kani in Xhosa. Both are powerful: Sher defiant, Kani radiant’
THE OBSERVER
‘As Kunene, [John] Kani is a beacon: rich-voiced, contained, determined’
THE OBSERVER
‘As the dying man, Sher – florid in speech, frowsty in tartan slippers – carries his pain like a terrible armour from which his skin is shrinking’
THE OBSERVER
‘Lungiswa Plaatjies….singing new compositions by Neo Muyanga, her voice like a chime’
★★★★THE SUNDAY TIMES
‘Beautifully written two-hander by John Kani’
THE SUNDAY TIMES
‘Absorbing comedy-drama’
★★★★★LIBBY PURVES, THEATRECAT
'Often funny, sometimes explosive, sometimes poignant, always, arresting and important'
LIBBY PURVES, THEATRECAT
'Opens great vistas of heart-stopping universal wisdom about death, guilt, reconciliation and human need'
LIBBY PURVES, THEATRECAT
'Honest, humane and thoughtful play'
LIBBY PURVES, THEATRECAT
'Sher is wonderful, fine-tuned in every move... opening fissures of stark feeling'
LIBBY PURVES, THEATRECAT
'A terrible mutual rage flares, becomes a fiery dance of laughter, subsides to glowing embers in the beauty of still, wry reconciliation'

Commentaire: Prolongation de Stomp (2002-09-Vaudeville Theatre-London)…
The West End production of Stomp is to close after 15 years in London. Following a ten-year run at the Ambassadors Theatre, the show, which incorporates dance and percussion using everyday instruments, will have its final performance on 7th January 2018. Stomp was first performed in Edinburgh in 1991, and moved to Sadler’s Wells in London in 1994, winning the Olivier Award for Best Choreography. It transferred to New York the following year before beginning its West End run at the Vaudeville Theatre in 2002, transferring to its current home in September 2007. (plus)

Commentaire: Prolongation de la version Little Shop of Horrors (The) (2006-11-Chocolate Factory Theatre-London)
This revival was a critical and commercial success and transferred to the Duke of York’s Theatre in March for a three month run, with one change of cast - Alistair McGowan replacing Jasper Britton. The show then transferred to the Ambassadors, where it ran for a farther three months, finally ending on September 8th, 2007.
Sheridan Smith, Alistair McGowan and the show itself were all nominated
for Olivier Awards. (plus)
Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Now, in the West End, Matthew White's production strikes many witless, dull and gross notes." MADDY COSTA for THE GUARDIAN says, "A charming production...Little Shop is kooky, irresistibly feel-good and deserves to run and run." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "I can't see how anyone could fail to have a good time at Matthew White's exuberant show." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Everyone who saw Matthew White’s Horrors revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory last November seems to have enjoyed it, and, though transfer has clearly deprived it of intimacy, everyone should enjoy it now that it is following the same theatre’s Sunday in the Park with George into the West End."

LYN GARDENER for THE GUARDIAN says, "There can be virtue in plainness, and Unwin's intimate production tells the story exceptionally well without any of those directorial flourishes that are so often a feature of contemporary Shakespeare."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "As clear as it is spare."
CHARLES SPENCER for DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Fine Hamlet...Leaving this production, you feel you have seen Shakespeare's play, rather than someone else's opinion of Shakespeare's play. It's a surprisingly rare and refreshing sensation.

Commentaire: An odd little piece from the Edinburgh Festival by the co-writer of the successful “The Play What I Wrote”, it was a great hit on the Edinburgh Fringe and some London reviewers regarded it as a piece of great charm and gusto. However many others took the view “too many average-to-inadequate shows get praised to high heaven during the annual Fringe frenzy, when theatre critics seem to either lose their marbles or get light-headed on the Edinburgh air and laugh hysterically at anything.” (plus)

Avec: 'ranney', Joe Hernandez-Kolski, Chris Edwards, Charles Anthony Burks and DJ Kevin Shand
Commentaire: Notes: This was a hip-hop version of Shakespeare’“Comedy of Errors”, aimed at the MTV generation. A set of twins are separated at birth and put up for adoption when their father is arrested for drug-dealing, and their story is told in rhyming couplets against a background of hip-hop and rap. With a DJ and just four men - the Bomb-Itty Boys - playing all the roles, bouncing in and out of frocks and wigs to play every part, and keeping close to the original plot with much wit, slapstick and inventiveness, its infectious energy and entertainment value earned it excellent notices. (plus)
Presse: RACHEL HALLIBURTON for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Lightning humour and exhilaratingly sparky performances."
LYN GARDNER for THE GUARDIAN says, "Clever, rude, raucous fun." And goes on to say, "The evening is never a drag, is often very funny."
IAN JOHNS for THE TIMES says, "Despite the odd sly line, Andrew Goldberg's production trades on stereotypes, burly men in drag, crude slapstick and genial vulgarity. Panto has come early and it's got a hip-hop beat."
RHODA KOENIG for THE INDEPENDENT says, "After about an hour, one's elation at the youthful high spirits and amateurish charm turns to impatience at the monotonous beat."
IAN SHUTTLEWORTH for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "Fast, funny and clever phenomenon."
CHARLES SPENCER for DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Make no mistake, this hip hop Shakespeare is a blast."

Young lovers Clarice and Silvio have no sooner got engaged than a servant arrives to announce that Clarice's previous fiance, Federigo Rasponi, believed dead, is at the door to claim his bride. 'Signor Rasponi' is actually the dead man's sister Beatrice, come to Venice in disguise to pursue her lover Florindo. Truffaldino manages to be employed as a servant to both Beatric and Florindo, each ignorant of the other's presence in the city. To cover up the duplication he has to invent another imaginary servant. Mayhem ensues. (plus)

In this new production, the company bring their expressionistic approach to Ibsen's classic drama to reveal this dark and brilliant play in all its nakedness. We see Ibsen's classic as never before - through the eyes of its heroine. It is Christmas Eve. Nora wraps presents, decorates the tree and plays with her beloved children. But is this idyll a paradise or a prison? Nora must charm, delight and seduce if she is to survive. But every time the doorbell rings the outside world threatens to destroy her fragile happiness.

Presse: NICHOLAS DE JONGH of THE EVENING STANDARD says, "The salaciousness of Holy Mothers simply invites giggles from those who keep a part of themselves forever infantile." And goes on to say "..the Characters' lurid grotesqueries seem artificially imposed."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE of THE TIMES loved the play saying, "Richard Jones's production is unmissable."
JOHN PETER OF THE SUNDAY TIMES says, "I think Schwab sees the world as a place where you shovel shit and get done for it by your resentful elders."

Commentaire: With a cast of just nine in modem dress, all doubling as on-stage musicians, with the barber’s chair replaced with a black onstage coffin, with blood being poured from one bucket to another each time a person is killed - this was a very “different” interpretation of Sondheim’s “Sweeney Todd. Originally produced at the Watermill Theatre, Berkshire, this limited run transfer divided the critics into two distinct camps. On the one hand: “superbly inventive”, “spectacular versatility”, “brilliantly expressive symbolic approach”; on the other, “the worst sort of university theatre, didactic, over-stylised ... crashingly obvious”, “cramped and inadequate”, “there are times when small is not beautiful”. In November 2005 John Doyle recreated this production on Broadway and won the Tony Award for Best Director. (plus)
Presse: FIONA MOUNTFORD for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "As sharp as ever...The versatility on offer is spectacular.."
PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Wonderfully fresh and fierce small-scale version."
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "strong on melodramatic horror, low on social resonance."
CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Superbly inventive staging."
BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Theatrical originality and a successful awakening of the audience’s imaginations."
SARAH HEMMIMG for THE FINANCIAL TIMES says, "Sondheim's musical emerges here as keen as a razor."

Commentaire: The show contained large extracts of speeches and scenes from “Macbeth” and other Shakespeare plays. It probably suffered by being yet another compilation musical at a time when the West End was filled with similar shows.

Commentaire: Oscar Wilde’s “Importance of Being Earnest”, had previously been adapted into a musical on several occasions, but never with any real success. This 1984 version by Sean O’Mahoney was the only one to date to reach the West End , though it only managed a very short run. Earlier attempts included “Found in a Handbag” (1957), with music by Allon Bacon, staged at Margate and “Half in Ernest” (1958), with music by Vivian Ellis which ended its pre-West End tour out of town (although it did get a later production in the USA). Other attempts included “Ernest in Time, or My Dark Gentleman” (1958) with music by John de Gray, staged at Canterbury, and “Ernest” (1959) with music by Malcolm Sircom, staged at Farnham. It was said the play is so perfect that the songs seemed like intrusions into the familiar and much-loved dialogue. (plus)

Commentaire: Staged in the pretty and ornately decorated Ambassadors Theatre, in a shoestring production, with token attention paid to the story, and with all the surrounding characters treated as unpleasant caricatures, the show did not go down well with the critics, though many Stones fans were vociferous in their approval.
