St. Martin 's Theatre, in London's West End, is one of the world's smallest theatres and is a Grade II listed building.
In 1974 a production of Agatha Christie’s thriller the Mousetrap transferred to the theatre and is still running.
Queen Elizabeth II attended the 50th Anniversary Royal Gala Performance on 25th November 2002. St. Martin’s was designed as a pair with the Ambassadors Theatre to be a memoriam for the 9th Baron Willoughby de Broke.
Many famous British actors have trod St Martin's boards. In April 1923 Basil Rathbone played Harry Domain in R.U.R. and in June 1927 Henry Daniell appeared there as Gregory Brown in Meet the Wife.
