The Duke of York's Theatre

Opened in 1892 as the Trafalgar Square Theatre, architect Walter Emden's creation took on its present day moniker three years later, in a burst of patriotic loyalty to the future King George V. In 1904 it hosted the premiere of JM Barrie's Peter Pan. The theatre is the London headquarters of its owner, the Ambassador Theatre Group. Its Grade II listed design accommodates 640 seats. The nearest Tube stations are Piccadilly Circus (Piccadilly/Bakerloo), Leicester Square (Piccadilly/Northern) and Charing Cross (Bakerloo/Northern), which also transfers to surface rail. The nearest bus stops are served by routes 24, 29 or 176.

Teeth 'n' Smiles

Teeth 'n' Smiles

18 May 2026 - 6 Jun 2026

The 50th anniversary revival of David Hare’s rebel play. Before the New York Dolls. Before Debbie Harry. Before Kurt Cobain. There was Maggie Frisby. Once the roaring voice of 60s counterculture, now broke and disillusioned, a band’s youthful dreams of anarchic rebellion collapse into bitterness. Amidst the wreckage, lead singer Maggie tears through the night fuelled by booze, fury, and a voice that refuses to die. 50 years after David Hare’s trailblazing play set the Royal Court alight, Teeth ’n‘ Smiles is ready to burn things down all over again. The ship is sinking but the music remains the same. A play with original music starring Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem) as Maggie. 12 weeks only Duke of York's Theatre March — June 2026. CAPTIONED: Thursday, 23rd April, 7:30pm

'Sex, the attraction that Newton left out.’   Brilliant minds, burning hearts and the unstoppable pull between chaos and order. In a country house, two centuries apart, genius unfolds. A teenage prodigy discovers the mathematics of the universe, as the adults around her fail to hide their passions under reason. In the present day, scholars chase the ghosts of that same household — seeking truth, proof and perhaps each other. Witty, moving and flirtatious, Tom Stoppard’s masterpiece is brought thrillingly to life by acclaimed director Carrie Cracknell.
