National Theatre

The National Theatre is one of the most important theaters in London. It is located on the banks of the Thames, next to Waterloo Bridge on the South Bank. It stages both classical and new plays. It's a very large building and inside there are three different theaters: The Oliver Theatre, Lyttelton and Cottesloe, with capacity for over 2,000 people.

Inspired in some way by the Comedie-Francaise, the English Royal National Theatre was opened by Queen Elizabeth II in 1976. Located on the southern shore of the River Thames it comprises 3 buildings with capacity for 2,500 spectators. In the forecourt there's a sculpture representing Laurence Olivier as Hamlet.
