This walking tour will tell the story of the origins of West End theatre, beginning at the sites of the long-lost tennis court theatres around Lincoln’s Inn Fields and making the short walk to Covent Garden, a walk that some acting companies had to make on the same afternoon when performing in both sites. Among the Covent Garden theatres, participants will learn the history of the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London’s oldest theatre site still in use. Attention will be given to landmark firsts: the first sites, first playwrights, and the revolutionary first actresses on the British stage.  This event is part of the Cultures of London Event Series during the Being Human Festival 2024. Access Information This is a walking tour around the historic streets of London’s West End, taking in the development of London’s historic theatre district.
