Object history | The Rehearsal Theatre was situated at No. 21 Maiden Lane and appears to have been in operation between 1908 and 1920, probably opening in April 1908. The Theatre was situated next door to the Stage Door of the Adelphi Theatre and was a conversion from a former Jewish Synagogue situated above the Adelphi Club on Maiden Lane, today the site of the Porterhouse Public House. It had a stage 24 feet wide by 18 feet deep with a proscenium opening of 18 feet, with an auditorium on two levels, lighted and heated by electricity. It had a seating capacity of 160. Its original Manager was J. Herbert Jay, the then Business Manager of Wyndham’s Theatre, and was designed to be a place for rehearsals and try-outs of small theatrical productions. Information from Mr Matthew Lloyd, (see references). |
