If you're looking for sheer pedigree in a venue, then you can't get much better than RADA. Since 1904 these guys have trained some of greats of British stage and screen and continue to be on the cutting edge when it comes to recruiting acting talent.

The Vanbrugh Theatre is also used by external productions thanks to its combination of high-spec facilities, comfortable seating, manageable capacity and a West End location.

This confluence of desirable location and facilities with a ready availability of young talent means many great shows have received their UK debuts on this stage - and the Vanbrugh also hosts polished revivals with the faces of the future.
