This was opened on 23 December 1905. In 1900 The Aldwych became the London home of the Royal Shakespeare company, and extensive alterations were in the interior.

National theatre
The National Theatre is a whole complex consisting of three theatres of varying size an design, situated on the South Bank of the Thames beside Waterloo Bridge. The theatres are:
The Olivier Theatre, the largest (1160 seats), named after Laurence Olivier, famous actor and first director of the National Theatre.
The Lyttleton Theatre, a medium-sized theatre (890 seats), named after Oliver Lyttleton, first president of the National Theatre Council.
The Cottesloe Theatre, a very small theatre with movable seats for experimental productions, named after the president of the South Bank Council, which was in charge of the whole project.
The National Theatre was opened in March 1976, although at first performances took place only in the Lyttleton Theatre. Now all three theatres are in use.
