We are Stratford East. We’re here to push boundaries, champion talent and create hard-hitting shows in the beating heart of East London. We’re here to move you, excite you and keep theatre open for all.

We have been telling stories since 1884. Many leading actors, writers and directors have been part of the family including Meera Syal, Barbara Windsor, Don Warrington, Indhu Rubasingham, Tanika Gupta, Roy Williams, and Cynthia Erivo.

Abigail’s Party is Nadia Fall’s last production as Artistic Director of Stratford East; under her tenure we have presented a bold programme of reimagined classics, timely revivals, and ground-breaking new work, including her final season celebrating the theatre’s 140^th Anniversary celebrations.
