Lyric Hammersmith

In the mountains of Connemara, County Galway, Maureen Folan – a plain, lonely woman, tied to her manipulative and ageing mother, Mag – comes alive at her first and possibly last prospect of a new life. But Mag has other ideas; and her interference sets in motion a train of events that leads inexorably towards the play’s breathtaking conclusion. Rachel O’Riordan directs a major revival of this darkly comic, award-winning play by Martin McDonagh (Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri; The Lieutenant of Inishmore), starring Adam Best (Giri/Haji), Ingrid Craigie (Roadkill; The Cripple of Inishmaan), Orla Fitzgerald (The Young Offenders) and Kwaku Fortune (Line of Duty; Normal People). 9 Oct - 6 Nov. https://lyric.co.uk/shows/the-beauty-queen-of-leenane/

The Lyric Hammersmith Theatre is open

3 months ago

Following 15 months of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre has reopened - your big beautiful theatre is back. In 1895, when the Lyric first opened, Wilton Jones wrote an address to celebrate the then named New Lyric Opera House with its Frank Matcham designed auditorium. The address was performed by the actress Lillie Langtry before the first production. 126 years later we are reopening again with those same words performed by actress Ayesha Antoine, who is part of our reopening production of Out West, seen alongside members of the Lyric Team as they reopen the theatre ready to welcome audiences back.

Help us raise £50,000 so we can get artists back on our stage

12 months ago

We need your help to raise £50,000. If you can, please donate to our crowdfunder campaign: bit.ly/2Sf0Uuf Our Artistic Director, Rachel O'Riordan said: When I started as the Artistic Director of the Lyric last year I promised world-class theatre from the heart of Hammersmith. Over 20,000 audiences saw my first production of Tanika Gupta’s brilliant ‘A Doll’s House’ with the award nominated performance by Anjana Vasan, which I was delighted we could share with even more people with the free broadcast. Due to Covid there are many more brilliant pieces of work that we’ve not been able to put on this stage for our audiences. The Lyric is an incredibly special theatre and so many talented artists have worked on this stage in this beautiful Matcham theatre. Help us to bring those artists back to our stage and give whatever you can afford to our Crowdfunder campaign. We will reopen the Lyric, but only with your help. Thank you.

Help us raise £50,000 to ensure young people can return to the Reuben Foundation Wing again

12 months ago

We need your help to raise £50,000. If you can, please donate to our crowdfunder campaign: bit.ly/2Sf0Uuf Our Director of Young Lyric, Rob Lehmann: Before we closed over 700 young people would enter the Reuben Foundation Wing. They’d fill the space with their energy and excitement. They brought this space to life to take part in music classes, dance classes, acting classes and workshops. They would learn new skills, gain in confidence and independence, find out who they are and who they want to be. During lockdown we’ve been able to continue working with many young people in our community through our keyworkers project and continuing to provide opportunities and pathways into theatre. We want to return to doing more and see this space full again as soon as we can do safely. Help us to fill this space with the young people who will need our help more than ever and give whatever you can afford to our Crowdfunder campaign. We will reopen the Lyric, but only with your help. Thank you.

We need your help to raise £50,000

Please help us raise £50,000 by donating to our crowdfunder here: https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/lyrichammersmiththeatre In 2020 we celebrated our 125th birthday at the same time as having to close our doors. We are facing our biggest challenge in history. Watch this film of our Executive Director Sian Alexander and Artistic Director Rachel O'Riordan in our theatre as they tell you why we need your support now. We will only be able to reopen our beautiful theatre, and come through this challenge strong enough to support our community with your help. We are a charity. We rely on ticket, classes, bar and events sales for 75% of our income. None of these are possible while the building is closed. We have been closed for over 6 months. The emergency support from the government, whilst gratefully received, is not enough to ensure long term financial viability, or to fulfil our social mission within our community. We have sadly had to start a redundancy consultation in September in order to streamline the organisation to weather the ongoing uncertainty and ensure a long-term future for the Lyric. We are devastated that our closure has lead to some of our talented team being made redundant. We need your support now more than ever. Any donation, no matter how small, will help us survive this critical time.
