About Tom Stoppard Theatre
The Tom Stoppard Theatre opened as the Trafalgar Square Theatre in 1892.The playhouse was renamed the Duke Of York’s Theatre three years later in 1895, in honour of the future King George V, and received its current name in 2026, following the death of the late great playwright Tom Stoppard.
Famous productions to play at the Tom Stoppard Theatre include David Belasco’s Madame Butterfly in 1900 – Puccini was in the audience and famously turned the story into an opera. J. M. Barrie's famous creation Peter Pan, or The Boy Who Wouldn’t Grow Up opened at the theatre on 27 Dec. 1904.
Typically, the Tom Stoppard Theatre is home to short-running plays, with West End and Broadway stars appearing.
