ARTISTIC POLICY
The Gate Theatre is London’s international theatre, with a distinguished reputation for creating innovative work and allowing emerging artists to take risks, to excel and make their mark.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘Brave, unsettling and given an inventive, highly physical production.’ The Times (The Sexual Neuroses of our Parents)

‘A small London company called the Gate has wrapped the unloved Emperor Jones in a bear jug of a production that allows no room for protective self-consciousness or irony. The results have left audiences and critics dazed, disturbed and gasping for superlatives.’ The New York Times (The Emperor Jones)

‘The Gate Theatre – where Jude Law, Rachel Weisz and Alex Kingston cut their acting teeth – hasn’t just survived, it has gained cult status.’ Harpers & Queen
