The Lyric Hammersmith stands proudly at the vanguard of modern theatre.

We aim to create groundbreaking work with and for a young, diverse, modern, urban audience that moves beyond conventional and naturalistic forms of theatre. Collaboration and diversity is at the heart of this work as we invite the most talented and audacious artists from many different artistic disciplines and backgrounds to work together to tell stories that resonate with today’s audiences.

In a world of digital and online communication, we believe that the immediacy of the live theatrical experience has never been more precious or more powerful. At the heart of our work is a focus on the creative development of the individual, from artists to audiences. We passionately believe that theatre, at its most excellent, can change people’s lives and that everyone, whatever their age, social or economic background, has the right to experience this.
