Donmar Warehouse Review

Most wonderful theatre in London!



In addition to the shows themselves, the theatre runs public workshops that tie in with the various productions. These are great fun, lifting the lid on the rehearsal process and giving you the chance to explore the play in a different way.

The venue itself is small and intimate, but with a lovely bar area where the serve a decent selection of wines & preprepared cocktails.

Can't recommend this place enough! :D

Great theatre space, perfect for the play. Henry IV was very well done

Love this place, it's where theatre gets up close and personal!

A beautiful, intimate venue. You can't help but feel like you are inside the show you are watching.

One of the best theatres in London, I've been going there for years and don't think I have ever seen a bad production. Book the stalls if you can afford them.

It was great to back at Donmar. I missed it so much and to open with Blindness which was a great performance

The two shows that I have seen here have been great! Highly recommend. The only downside is the bar is on the expensive side.

Great little theatre space!
Berberian Sound Studio was a brilliant experience. Very immersive, probably partly due to closeness - practically onstage!
Comfortable seating. Staff were friendly and helpful.
(Toilets could do with a bit more looking after)

Such a great venue, intimate and puts on a wide variety of absorbing plays Nd musicals. Definitely worth checking out and it can be really affordable too!

A great theatre space with a bold programme of works. Josie Rourke s Measure for Measure was witty, well judged and a masterclass in perception.

Super cool always. One and only Donmar Warehouse.
Sweet Charity is a uplifting play. Please go and see it.

Small but high-quality theatre - there's a good reason why tickets can be hard to come by.

Went to watch Coriolanus, and it was truly breathtaking! Such wonderful plays and such polite, friendly staff!

Berberian Sound Studio. Intimate venue near Seven Dials, performing semi in the round. Reasonable leg room on bench seating up close to the performers. Recommended.

They always have great shows with great casts and even if the play is not your cup of tea you won't be dissatisfied by the quality of the production.

Great little theatre that brings you really close to the action. Reasonable seat prices but bar drinks expensive. Happy, friendly staff and top line actors. Plays are sometimes challenging but always worth a visit.

Always a great theatre experience and incredible value if you are a member.

Great productions
Intimate theatre.

Only been once but i really loved every minute of the berberian sound studio and would defintely go back. Luca pasqualino was amazing in it. Love so much

An incredible experience at the Donmar, you won't get a more intimate theatre experience

Staff very pleasant. Clean and welcoming. Happy to give 5 star review.

The Donmar Warehouse never fails to entertain with its diverse programme of plays. In my case, because I am deaf, I am able to attend captioned performances and a specialist (deaf aware trained) staff member called Emma is always at hand (and signs in BSL) to ensure things go right for deaf people at the Donmar Warehouse.
Rob at the box office ensures I have a good seat from which to see the plays and the captions clearly. It is a welcoming, entertaining venue and the place to be.

Small theatre with great spirit and it's own unmissible agenda.Highly recommended if you are lucky to get tickets.

Everything I've seen at the Donmar has been utterly gripping from start to finish!

As always a delight. I love the intimate atmosphere of this theatre and the wonderful production. The Way of the World was brilliant.

My school and I watched the The Tempest - the last of Shakespeare's Trilogy by Donmar. I absolutely loved it. Also, i met Lenny Henry and the Radio 1 presenter and also took a group picture like a celebrity. Amazing work guys...keep it up!

Recently saw The York Realist here, which was a brilliant production. It was our first visit to this venue and we absolutely loved the intimacy and character of the place. Great location too!

Great shows here in this fairly basic converted warehouse.

Great theatre, and try not to miss The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie!

The Donmar has to be one of my favourite theatres, with only a 250 seat capacity you have a wonderful intimate venue where there are no bad seats.



The plays are constantly changing, each season there will be at least three plays, some themed, some wildly different. From classic Shakespeare to modern day writers, from serious to comedies, there is something for everyone.

While refreshments are limited, it is a fact of a smaller venue, along with less restrooms. But the charm of the theatre, the strengths of the casts, and the range of plays offered through the year make this a standout theatre.

One of my favorite theater companies in the world. A small intimate space with a center of town location and amazing productions.

Modern looking theatre with brilliant production values.

Brilliant Ann Marie Duff. All cast great and staff very friendly. Thanks

Went to the Donamar to see Tom Hiddlestone in Coriolanus and was very taken with the theatre, it's tiny! Makes the whole experience that little bit more intimate. We were right in the centre of row C at the front and had a pretty amazing view.

They don't overcharge either which I found refreshing paying a very reasonable price for both my program and the tea/biscuits that were to be my dinner for the evening! Staff were all very helpful too.

Very lively and trendy location in Covent garden. Great productions. Cramped and expensive bar.

Terrific theatre, terrific production of Jean Brodie ... try to avoid having to stand, though.

One of my favorite theatres in London.
Always puts on good shows

It's a quirky environment with a friendly atmosphere.

Small intimate theatre with great independent productions.

Probably my favourite theatre in London. An intimate theatre with great shows, and the tickets are always reasonably priced.

Great little theatre in the heart of West end, and does not show commercial tourist plays like the rest, indipendent and strong choices..

The little theater feels so good! Sweet charity is really good!

Usually great shows and a small, cool theatre. Even the standing room only tickets have a good view of the stage (but you'll get moved to seats if you're lucky and there's room!).

Small theatre with some of the best productions, and innovative methods to allow people to buy tickets each week Punches well above its weight but remains friendly and welcoming.

Have know Donmar from New York, as it often collaborates with St Ann s warehouse in Brooklyn. The shows there are varied, but often thought provoking. It s intimate setting means sometimes it s hard to secure tickets to hotly sought after shows.
So when Donmar reopens its doors, I didn t hesitate to visit. It s not live performance as we knew it, but Blindness - a recorded audio recording of Jose Saramago s book - is an apt return to theater in these troubled times.
Donmar is one of a handful of theaters I always visit whenever I m in London, and am seldom disappointed.

Went to see the Berberian sound studio never heard of the movie. But an amazing show and I bought the movie as soon as I got home. 10 out of 10. Great cast great readaptation.

Wonderfully intimate space, especially if seated in the stalls. I heard some people complaining about comfort, but I've been in much less comfortable theatres.

Long queues for ladies' toilets.

I've not considered the production itself in this review.

Donmar consistently selects and stages high quality productions to their full potential. The fact that a play has been picked by Donmar is already a filter for good contemporary drama.

I wish I could give 5 stars to this very active theatre institution, unfortunately I got highly disappointed with a few productions, so I'm careful and do some research before booking.

Intimate theatre in an interesting part of central London.

Got a standing ticket to see "The Weir" one Wednesday. Just before curtain up we were moved downstairs to the stalls. Great seats and well worth doing, If not try and get the barclays front row seats every monday online from 10 am for a tenner! Fantastic venue and a terrific venue to see the best talent and the best London Theatre has to offer.

One of the best theatres in London, both because of the atmosphere and the quality of their productions.

Hit and miss productions but a nicely laid out theatre and reasonable pricing.

Really disliked the play. I'm usually tolerant of unusual. But this simply didn't make much sense.

Great theatre. Small and intimate. I have seen many great productions here.

Small theatre, often sold out, seats a bit uncomfortable but often top-flight productions.

Great intimate feeling theatre with ambitious programme of co contemporary theatre.
