Salisbury Playhouse

Salisbury Playhouse is one of Britain’s leading producing theatres, with a national reputation for home-grown work of the highest quality. It is a vigorous creative heartbeat at the centre of life in Wiltshire, Hampshire and Dorset, and is at the very core of our community. Wiltshire should be proud to house one of a few thriving examples of a high-quality producing theatre and we are justly praised for our extremely high production values. These high production values are achieved by having an in-house workshop and carpentry team, wardrobe department and props store run by Stage Management. The Playhouse’s programme is wide-ranging – a deliberately eclectic but well-balanced mix of intelligent and entertaining work, performed in two auditoria, which receives regular critical and audience acclaim for the choice and standard of work and the excellence of the acting. Main House productions are almost entirely our own or co-produced, while the visiting work brings the very best of touring companies both from the UK and further a field. The Salberg Studio programme, meanwhile, combines an extensive range of Theatre for Young People with touring productions of new work. Right here in the heart of Wiltshire is a live, vital, award-winning venue, important to the community in which it is situated. We create a platform for home-grown talent producing nationally acclaimed theatre.
