Theater Space

There are three theaters within the National Theater; the Olivier theatre, the Lyttelton theatre and the Dorfman theatre. Each theater is different in accords to the size, style and design of each theater. This is meant to accommodate attendance, set design and sound acoustics that can be different for each performance.

Olivier Theatre

The Olivier Theatre is named after Laurence Olivier who was the first director of the National Theatre and an British actor. According to the National Theater website description of Oliver Theatre, "The Olivier Theatre is the largest of the three theatres at the National. It can accommodate 1,150 people in its fan-shaped auditorium, and 2,000 years of drama on its open stage. Two main tiers of steeply raked seats − flanked by side-banks on a higher level − sweep down to the stage. In spite of its size, the Olivier has a concentrated intimacy. No seat is far from an actor's point of command; and the span of the seats matches their effective span of vision. They can hold the audience within the compass of their eyes. The first three rows in the Front Stalls have no arm-rests, are slightly narrower, and for some shows may offer a partially-restricted view.
