THE CITY’S HIDDEN STAGE
“One of London’s most magical historic venues”Time Out
“This is the most important surviving early music hall to be seen anywhere......It is of outstanding architectural and archaeological significance”The Theatres Trust
Wilton’s is arguably the oldest and last surviving Grand Music Hall in the world, it is a unique survivor of the giant pub music halls of the 1850s. Wilton’s has a fascinating history that has seen this building journey from ale house to music hall and Methodist mission to rag warehouse, eventually being left derelict and half forgotten.
The Wilton’s Music Hall Trust has lovingly coaxed the building back to life and it has been producing shows regularly since 2004. The work you can see at Wilton’s today is imaginative and distinctive, usually with its roots in the early music hall tradition but reinterpreted for an audience of today. There is a veritable mixed bag of surprise and delight – from baroque operas in 3D animation to ping pong tournaments on stage. Wilton’s is situated at the start of the historic East End – on the edge of the City, within easy walking distance from The Tower of London and the river and just south of Spitalfields and Brick Lane.
I first heard the story of a secret buried church from my father, Jeffrey Mayhew, when he came back from one of his trips to Romania (quite a few years ago now) where he would spend the summer holidays in orphanages running drama therapy courses. He had always thought it would make a good play and when Julian Garner (who also got the story from my dad) had the inspiration to write the story as you will see now in Father Nandru & The Wolves, it felt like it was developed alongside Wilton’s own story of survival like parallel lines. The story has many layers, a truly poetic modern folk tale, and as we know the truths from the story – it is a stark reminder that we must bring people and communities together, for that way we can destroy prejudice and become stronger.
During the building work (due to run June 2014 – Autumn 2015), performances will continue as much as possible and you are invited to discover The Chrysalis Club, an exciting pop-up venture. After the works are complete we hope you will not notice that we have repaired the building so extensively as we will endeavour to keep its current charm and character. There will be more performance spaces, studios, educational programmes, visitor rooms, a bakery and brasserie and we will be open more for you to enjoy and engage with Wilton’s.
A history of the hall is available from the box office or online (wiltons.org.uk) or you may want to join one of our regular guided tours.
This production could not have happened without the support of Arts Council England and Backstage Trust.
