History

Founder Leslie Evershed-Martin opened the theatre in Oaklands Park in 1962, in a Grade II* listed building designed by Philip Powell and Hidalgo Moya. Sir Laurence Olivier was its first artistic director, and the first National Theatre company was formed here. The smaller Minerva Theatre was added nearby in 1989, and a 120-seat studio called The Nest followed in July 2025.
