London Coliseum

London Coliseum - TodayTix

The London Coliseum opened in 1904. When the Coliseum first opened, it was home to variety shows – chariot races even took place. The idea stood that if shows weren’t accessible to the general public, then it didn’t have a place at the London Coliseum. 

In 1968, the theatre became the home of Sadler’s Wells Opera (now the English National Opera), with the London Coliseum auditiorium redesigned to allow for a large orchestra. The London Coliseum has such a presence in the English opera calendar that it’s now the British home of operatic performances.

The London Coliseum has the widest proscenium arch in the West End, measuring at 55 feet wide.

## London Coliseum Seating Information

The London Coliseum seats 2,359 people across two levels - Stalls, Dress Circle, Upper Circle and Balcony. All seats offer an excellent view of the London Coliseum stage, so you can feel a part of the action.

*Elektra* is a play by Sophocles that was likely written sometime between 420 BC and 414 BC, as it has similarities with *Philoctetes* (409 BC) and *Oedipus at Colonus* (406 BC). This new translation is by award-winning poet Anne Carson, who also translated Sophocles' *Antigone*. Carson has published over twenty books, and among the many awards she's earned include the T.S. Elliot Prize, the Governor General's Award for English-language poetry, and the Lannan Literary Award. 

*Elektra* in London boasts an exceptional creative team led by director Daniel Fish (*Oklahoma!*). Annie-B Parson (*Here Lies Love*) is the choreographer, Jeremy Herbert (*Hamlet*) is the scenic designer, Adam Silverman (*The Glass Menagerie*) is the lighting designer, Doey Lüthi (*over and over vorbeinicht vorbei*) is the costume designer, Max and Ben Ringham (*A Doll's House*) are the sound designers, and music is by Ted Hearne (*Place*). 

"I couldn't be more excited to perform in this Greek drama, or in better company collaborating with Daniel Fish and Anne Carson," Brie Larson said in a statement. "Storytelling has always been the way I organize life, feelings, and experiences. I look forward to sharing space with the wonderful West End audience while we explore this timeless story." 

## What to watch for

- Tales of Orestes' revenge were very popular in Greek tragedies; in fact, Euripides also wrote a play called *Electra*. 
- Some of the events of *Elektra* were also referenced in Homer's *Odyssey*. 
- Anne Carson has received both the MacArthur 'Genius' Grant and the Guggenheim Fellowship. 
- Max and Ben Ringham were nominated for an Olivier Award in 2023 for their work on *Prima Facie*.

Great Britain produces legendary writers: William Shakespeare, Charles Dickens, Jane Austen, and Agatha Christie to name a few. Agatha Christie’s the most-read British female writer of all time, with an estimated 4 billion copies sold. Add that to *The Mousetrap*’s record-breaking West End run, and it’s fair to say that Agatha Christie changed the landscape of the English language. 

Agatha Christie didn’t think much of *The Mousetrap* when it first opened though. Christie originally wrote the play for radio, and it later became a play, that at the time, Christie thought would only run for around 8 months. *The Mousetrap* play was written as a gift for Queen Mary’s 80th birthday in 1947. Agatha Christie then gave her grandson, Mathew Pritchard, the rights to the play for his ninth birthday.

## What to Watch For

- Look out for the wooden sign at the entrance to St. Martin's Theatre — it tallies up the number of performances to date and will let you know which performance of this record-breaking show you are attending.
- The clock above the fireplace in the main hall is the same clock that was used on opening night in 1952.
- In 2012, a star-studded cast including Patrick Stewart, Julie Walters, and Tamsin Greig took part in *The Mousetrap*.
- Former cast members have given record-breaking contributions. One of the original cast members, David Guyler, provided the prerecorded voice of the newsreader in the shop.
- David Raven is in the Guiness Book of Records as the “Most Durable Actor” having performed 4,575 performances as Major Metcalf. The late Nancy Seabrooke also holds a record for an impressive 15 years as an understudy in *The Mousetrap.*

Agatha Christie's '<a href="/show/the-mousetrap">The Mousetrap</a>', opened in the West End on the 25th November 1952, which means it has been running for over 50 years making it the world's longest running play - an incredible achievement for any play and one that the producers are rightly proud of. In the course of the first 50 years, according to the programme notes, over 10 million people have seen the show and over 395 tons of ice cream have been sold!So what is the show's success? Part of it has to do with the fame of playwright Agatha Christie. In 1962 UNESCO announced that she was the most widely read British writer in the world, beating even Shakespeare, who came a miserable second. As the creator of such famous sleuths as Miss Jane Marple and the famous French, sorry Belgian, Detective Hercule Poirot, Agatha Christie is the most famous 'whodunnit' crime writer of all time. Who has not heard of "Death on the Nile" or "Murder on the Orient Express"?Agatha Christie's fame has surely played a part in this show's success. In the 1950's Christie's books were regularly in the top sellers list. It was hardly surprising that a play, which has never been published or turned into a movie or tv programme, should attract avid fans. Since that initial enthusiasm the show has now become one of the essential things to do on many a tourists schedule - go to Buckingham Palace, visit the Tower of London and see 'The Mousetrap'.The play is your regular 'whodunit' mystery. Eight people are snowed in at a guest house: Mollie and Giles Ralston, the owners; four invited guests, each with eccentric characteristics; the unexpected guest, who turns up out of the blue after his car overturns in the snow storm; and finally a skiing detective. Once everyone has arrived it is not long before a murder takes place and the detective assembles all the guests together and interrogates them one by one. Each avoid the truth, some by silence and others by lies? Can the murderer be caught before more deaths happen?The story, whilst sensational and full of silly coincidences, is actually quite good. The characters are, despite their histrionics, vivid and they interact amongst themselves with macabre amusement. There are enough false clues to keep you guessing and a few hidden ones that mean if you stay alert you will not be too surprised to discover that the murderer is ****. Just kidding! If you want the answer to that question then you will need to go and see this quintessentially English murder mystery for yourself.NOTE: The star rating was added to this review by the editor after original publication<a href="/show/the-mousetrap">The Mousetrap Tickets</a> are now on sale.&nbsp;
