The Donmar Warehouse is a small theatre in the Covent Garden area of the West End of London. It occupies a space which was once the vat room and hop warehouse of a brewery and was first used as a theatre by the Royal Shakespeare Company in 1977. The theatre became an independent producing house in 1992.
The Donmar Warehouse produces predominantly high-brow plays and has a very high artistic reputation. Sam Mendes was the artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse for a number of years before he began to concentrate on film direction. Numerous well known British and non-British actors have appeared at the theatre, most famously Nicole Kidman in The Blue Room. The current artistic director is Michael Grandage.
