About Us
The Marylebone Theatre is London’s newest cross-cultural, performance space. Once known as the Steiner Hall, the theatre has undergone an extensive refurbishment, as a result of which it is now a versatile, state-of-the-art space, launching with an exciting programme of theatre performances, concerts, dance and spoken word events.
"Only mystery allows us to live, only mystery"
Federico Garcia Lorca
At the Marylebone Theatre, our goal is to produce distinctively visionary theatre, which explores and refreshes the great poetic tradition whilst boldly engaging with the pressing issues of our times. Drawing on the inspiration of theatre visionaries, from Brook and Miller to Steiner and Chekhov, we aim to create performance art, which is daringly innovative and arrestingly beautiful. We place a special emphasis on intercultural creativity and the inspiration that arises from working across cultural barriers. As well as in-house productions, we curate a high-quality programme of music, dance and poetry performances. We also welcome in-coming companies from all over the world. Through our funded community-in-the-arts scheme, we also support numerous local groups with important social missions and run our own youth theatre and arts-based educational programme.

Dedication
written and performed by Roger Peltzman, directed by Jessi D. Hill
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'Peltzman’s one-hour solo show is put together with such grace, beauty and sorrow that it offers a richly rewarding and thoughtful experience. At key moments during the show, Peltzman takes to the grand piano on stage, and plays like an angel' Joyce McMillan, The Scotsman
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'The combination of story, music, history, and heart is incredibly potent and poignant. An extraordinary story… powerful and moving' The Wee Review
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 'A beautiful celebration of a lost talent' UKTW
New York pianist, Roger Peltzman’s one-person show, Dedication, recounts his family’s tragic history fleeing the Nazis in war-torn Europe using drama, humor, powerful images and musical performances of everything from blues to Chopin. Drawn into the story of people he never knew, Peltzman develops a “relationship” with his uncle, Norbert Stern, a brilliant pianist who was murdered in Auschwitz at age 21. Learning that Holocaust trauma can be inherited, Peltzman recounts his coming to terms with second generation survivor trauma and the role of music in helping to manage wounds that will never fully heal. A singular tale from the Holocaust that is at once extraordinary and relatable

Grenfell: System Failure
in association with Nick of Time Productions and the Playground Theatre
edited by Richard Norton-Taylor & Nicolas Kent, directed by Nicolas Kent
Following critically acclaimed production Grenfell: Value Engineering, Grenfell: System Failure asks further vital questions raised at the Grenfell Tower Inquiry in the last eighteen months.
Based entirely on the words of those involved in the final phase of the Inquiry (December 2020 – July 2022), Grenfell: System Failure interrogates why the testing regime failed to warn of the danger of installing inflammable materials, why manufacturers promoted such products with no regard to safety, why government regulations ignored the dangers and were not updated, and why politicians failed to ensure proper oversight. Through the testimonies of bereaved residents, it explores how they were failed by the London Fire Brigade on the night and abandoned by the local authority in the chaos of the fire’s aftermath.
