Cottesloe (Royal National Theatre)

Greater London

Overview

The Cottesloe Theatre, located in London, was a renowned cultural venue that played a significant role in British theatre for over three decades. Named after its location in the National Theatre complex on London's South Bank, the Cottesloe Theatre was dedicated to presenting new and innovative works, nurturing emerging talents, and providing an intimate setting for powerful storytelling. With its unique thrust stage and adaptable design, the theatre offered an immersive and transformative experience for audiences, making it a cherished space for theatrical exploration and experimentation. In 2013, the Cottesloe Theatre was renamed the Dorfman Theatre in honor of a generous donation from the Dorfman Foundation, solidifying its place as a central pillar in the vibrant and ever-evolving arts landscape of London's renowned National Theatre.
