Leatherhead Theatre

7 Church St, Leatherhead, Surrey KT22 8DN, England

Date Opened: 1969

Formerly known as the Thorndike Theatre, the Leatherhead is situated in the centre of Leatherhead, Surrey, England. It is a Grade II listed building, designed by Roderick Ham within the shell of the disused 1930s Crescent Cinema. The auditorium reflects widespread trends in modernist theatre architecture. It is a proscenium theatre, but the proscenium arch is made almost invisible by its dark colour, uniting the audience and actor in a single room. As with many 1960s British theatres the seats are all on one steeply raked tier; unusually they are undivided by aisles, keeping the audience as a single unit.
