Step into the world of ☄️ Cliffs, a brand new, genre-bending musical, that is coming to our Studio on 22-23 November: https://theotherpalace.co.uk/cliffs-the-musical/.

With a score that combines hip-hop and folk, Cliffs tells the story of Teddy Thomas, a girl who mysteriously vanishes on her way to school, plunging her family and the rest of the community into turmoil. As rumours begin to spread across The Bay, Teddy finds herself seeking justice between not one, but two worlds.

Written by Elan Butler (Masters of the Air, Funny Woman) and directed by Dean Johnson (Once at London Palladium, Lift at Southwark Playhouse), it promises to be a fresh take on British musical theatre that highlights the importance of community and togetherness.

A hugely-acclaimed solo play praised by critics as “a stunning piece of theatre, masterfully told” (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Broadway Baby) and "an absolute triumph” (⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All That Dazzles ) following the story of Quentin Crisp, one of the most memorable figures of the 20 century. Openly gay as early as the 1930s, Quentin spent decades being beaten up on London’s streets for refusing to be anything less than himself.

Nominated for Best Solo Performances at Off-West End Award 2023, this vibrant solo play tells the story of Derek Jarman. Derek Jarman: film-maker, painter, gardener, gay rights activist, writer…his influence remains as strong as it was on the day AIDS killed him in 1994. But his story, one of the most extraordinary lives ever lived, has never been told. Until now.

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.
