What's On at The Donmar Warehouse



This link shows what shows are coming up at the Donmar, as you can see there is a range of different shows playing over the course of the season. This is because their aim is to attract a wide range of audiences to reach different target markets. This is important so that they are able to sell lots of tickets, build up a brand name and turn a profit. They show 3 shows from September to February, some overlapping. For example from the 24th September - 12th November they are showing Coriolanus by William Shakespeare which is a National Theatre live screening, during this you can also download an audio commentary to be played alongside the screening. From 2nd October - 5th December they are showing Teddy Ferrara by Christopher Shinn, this is very different form Coriolanus as it is set in a modern day university focusing around a LGBTQ group and current politics. These shows are very popular as many are sold out, suggesting that the Donmar is a well known theatre with a high reputation.


They also hold workshops for the public, these are at the Clore Studio at the Donmar rehearsal building in Covent Garden, as well as this they sometimes visit schools to deliver workshops. There are different types of workshops these include...

• Open workshops - These are alongside every Donmar production and the idea of this is to give members of the public a chance to see the process of putting on work at the Donmar.
• Workshops for groups - This is for schools, colleges, national and international universities, this can wither be done at the Clore studio or at the schools etc.
• Workshops for teachers - This is an opportunity for teachers to get involved with the work at the Donmar and improve their knowledge of contemporary theatre practice.
