Having served as a rehearsal space for the London Festival Ballet, the RSC and then as a touring venue, the theatre was remodelled in 1992 as part of the redevelopment of the building which surrounds it.
It forms the basis of a five year plan of development to make the Donmar one of the premier theatres in the UK offering continuous high definition work that is a refreshing alternative to the West End environment around us.
The Donmar's profile is growing from the remarkably strong position I inherited two years ago and we now need to focus all our efforts in taking this much further.

The story of the Donmar Warehouse is an extraordinary one.
Originally a hops brewery and later a banana warehouse serving Covent Garden, the space became the rehearsal studio for the London Festival Ballet during the 1950s and takes its current name from the first names of the two people running the company at the time—theater impresario Donald Albery and prima ballerina Margot Fonteyn.
In 1992, after a massive refurbishment to the tune of $2 million, the Donmar Warehouse opened its doors.

 Alone Together - Michael Ball at the Donmar Warehouse
Michael Ball appeared at London's prestigious Donmar Warehouse for a two-week run (Monday 17 - Saturday 29 September, 2001) as part of the annual Divas at the Donmar season.
The specially-devised show (directed by Jonathan Butterell) offered Michael the opportunity to create and perform a unique theatrical event, consisting solely of songs and part-songs that he had never before recorded or performed in public, all chosen, edited and reinterpreted to tell a story of a musical actor who lives to perform, but suffers off-stage.
Accustomed to large concert halls and the backing of orchestras, the intimate space of the Donmar Warehouse (with an audience of just 250) allowed Michael to sing sotto voce, in songs such as Solitude and How Can I Lose You, with no hand mike, and still be heard clearly in all corners of the theatre.

 Donmar REAL THING   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
First staged in 1982, and now triumphantly revived at the Donmar Warehouse, the play is (to my mind, at least) Stoppard's most satisfying.
The Donmar production, directed by David Leveaux, features a superlative performance from Stephen Dillane as Henry (his career best, as sports commentators say), a compelling Annie from Jennifer Ehle, and admirable support from Sarah Woodward and Nigel Lindsay as their discarded partners.
Like Pinter's Betrayal, it exists on a dangerous borderline of autobiography and invented drama of the heart' you do not need to be a gossip columnist on a tabloid newspaper to work out that there is a lot of barely suppressed truth here about the dramatist's private life at the time he was writing.

To see and hear the musical Grand Hotel after the silly dross of The Woman in Whiteand The Producers is to receive a much-needed reminder that a musical can be musically thrilling - and can count as true music drama, too.
This new production at the Donmar Warehouse also leaves an intensely stylish visual impression.
As soon as, in the opening number, the characters, bringing to life not only a hotel but also a war-shattered culture, are singing in three different rhythms, Grand Hotel impresses with a sophistication few musicals achieve.

 Mendes at the Donmar, Stepping into Freedom, a CurtainUp book review
Now Mendes, the baby-faced artistic director during the Donmar's first ten years, has broadened his horizons with several films (the also high profile American Beauty and Road to Perdition), Variety's London theater critic, Matt Wolf, offers Mendes-Donmar watchers Sam Mendes at the Donmar.
The 185-page book is essentially a biography of the theater -- from its birth (re-birth, really, since it was an existing venue), through its hiccups and triumphs and to transition marked by the passing of the baton by Mendes to Michael Grandage.
Though Mendes has written the foreword, his place in the book as in the theater itself, is not that of a can't let go type of control freak.

 UK Review: Days of Wine & Roses (Donmar Warehouse) (BroadwayWorld.com)
Such an apparently innocuous action has profound consequences as drink swiftly becomes a crutch for both, soon undermining the fun and laughter of their early days as addiction takes firm hold of their lives.
Directed by Peter Gill, Miller's tale as filtered by McCafferty is both powerful and emotionally bruising, the close confines of the Donmar freshly emphasising the harrowing breakdown of the couple's once-close relationship.
Donal eventually finds a way to sidestep the bottle but his wife takes his renunciation of drink as a personal rejection, further fuelling her disintegration.
