A compelling, witty, tragicomic play, 🎨 Florence, unveiling the idiosyncrasies of the contemporary art world, is coming to our Studio on 25-26 March: https://theotherpalace.co.uk/florence/.

Have you ever longed to be someone else? Someone confident? With the dream job? And the perfect friends? The one-woman narrative follows the story of an ambitious young woman willing to use any means necessary to secure her success. Even if it means creating an entirely new persona, called Florence.

Being Florence allowed her to escape her past, join an elite friendship group and secure her dream job in an art dealership. But beneath the initial comedy and social satire, this play questions; how effective is a mask, if who you are really trying to hide from is yourself?

Our Story

The Other Palace has an extraordinary history dating back to 1766 when it began life as the Charlotte Chapel. By 1924 the chapel had fallen into disrepair and was converted into a cinema called the St. James' Picture Theatre. In 1931 the cinema reopened as the Westminster Theatre, with the chapel's crypt becoming dressing rooms, green room and stalls bar.

The theatre fell dark in 1990 and after a long campaign to save it from demolition, it was destroyed by a fire in 2002. Following the loss of the theatre, the Theatres Trust and Save London's Theatres campaign fought continuously to reinstate a theatre on site. In 2009 Westminster council granted planning permission for a theatre to be built.

In 2012 the current theatre opened as St. James Theatre, featuring a 312-seat main theatre and a 120-seat studio theatre. The prominent artistic and social destination offered a varied programme of drama, musical theatre, cabaret and jazz.

St. James Theatre was acquired by Andrew Lloyd Webber's LW Theatres Group in 2016. After closing its doors in January 2017 for refurbishment, the theatre reopened in Feb 2017 as The Other Palace, the home of musical theatre.
