St Martin's Theatre in London is a west end theatre situated in West Street just off Charing Cross Road in the Borough of Camden. The theatre was designed as one of a pair of theatres with the Ambassadors Theatre by W.G.R. Sprague in memoriam for the 9th Baron Willoughby de Broke
Nurtured at an early age through amateur theatricals at Compton Verney, the family seat in Warwickshire, and later developed during the time he spent in London, both as a sitting MP for Rugby, and as well as a member of the House of Lords. It was his intention to devote a chapter of his autobiography "The Passing Years" to drama, but he unfortunately died before its completion.
His interest in drama was translated into action when in association with B.A.(Bertie) Meyer, who commissioned theatre architect W.G.R. Sprague to design the St Martin's. Originally intended to be one of a pair with the adjacent Ambassadors which opened in 1913, the St Martin's début was delayed by the outbreak of the first World War: the first performance of Houpla took place on 23rd November 1916.
Many famous British actors have passed through the doors of the St Martin's. In April 1923 Basil Rathbone played Harry Domain in R.U.R. and in June 1927 Henry Daniell appeared there as Gregory Brown in Meet The Wife
Bertie Meyer, who was so closely involved in the St Martin's Theatre in the early days, ran the theatre intermittently from 1916 to 1967, when his son R.A.(Ricky) took over. Ricky was the administrator for twenty years until he retired in 1987; he remained as a consultant until his death in 1991.
In March 1974 The Mousetrap by Agatha Christie transferred to the St Martin's Theatre where it still remains to this day holding the record for the longest running show in the world. The theatre was Grade II listed by English Heritage in March 1973.
