The Warehouse Theatre was founded in 1977 and is housed in a Victorian, oak-beamed, former cement warehouse built in 1882.

The Warehouse Theatre Company presents challenging new work through its own productions as well as co-producing with companies who share a commitment to the same exacting standards. Through the International Playwriting Festival the theatre has discovered and launched the career of a host of successful writers and it has also had much success in transferring plays to the West End and other London theatres, and touring both nationally and internationally. For some time a new theatre has been planned which will double the capacity and upgrade the facilities, and this is now close to reality as negotiations continue about the development of the site on which the theatre stands.
