The Royal Avenue Theatre opened on the 11th March 1882 having a revival of Offenbach's Madam Favart. The prefix "Royal" was soon dropped from the theatre's name, but comic operas, burlesques as well as the like remained the staple fare for many years. For much of this time, Arthur Roberts, a well-liked star of the music halls, led the organization at the Avenue. Inside the early 1890s the emphasis changed to drama and in 1894 Miss Horniman, the tea heiress, later a pioneer of the repertory movement, anonymously sponsored the actress Florence Farr in a season of plays. Sadly, the very first production failed but Miss Farr persuaded her friend, a particular George Bernard Shaw, to finish his play, Arms as well as the Man, as a speedy replacement and his 1st West End production. It was effective enough to enable him to drop his music criticism in favour of play writing. Given that then, the beautiful Playhouse has hosted the likes of WS Gilbert, legendary actress-manager Gladys Cooper, the BBC, The Almeida Theatre Business, The Peter Hall Organization, and Janet McTeer.
In January 2003, Maidstone Productions became the new independent owners of the Theatre. Maidstone Productions, belonging to London and Broadway producers Ted and Norman Tulchin, has been behind a string of hit productions on both sides of the Atlantic, such as Gagarin Way, Eden and Vincent in Brixton within the West End; Yazmina Reza's The Unexpected Man, also as Donald Margulies' Dinner with Buddies, which won the Pulitzer Prize. This was in addition to Turgenev's Fortune's Fool on Broadway, starring Alan Bates and Frank Langella, both winning Tony Awards for finest actor and greatest supporting actor.
In March 2003, the Ambassador Theatre Group took over the stewardship of the Playhouse Theatre and is responsible for the theatre's management and programming, working with Maidstone Productions as well as the team at the theatre. Recent productions consist of Richard Eyre's production Vincent in Brixton starring Clare Higgins and Journey's End directed by David Grindley. Currently playing is Dreamboats and Petticoats.
