(June 2021) – One Aldwych, Covent Garden’s stylish hotel reopens this week, hand in hand with its neighbour, the Donmar Warehouse. Over the past year, both the hospitality industry and theatres have had to close their doors – and now these two London icons come together to celebrate the reopening of the hotel and the Donmar’s first stage production for many months.
Janine Marshall, General Manager of One Aldwych explains:
“Back in 1988 when One Aldwych had just opened, the first night party for the Donmar’s production of The Blue Room starring Nicole Kidman, was held in our restaurant. We’re thrilled to be working with the Donmar on another landmark production, to bring people back to London and to create wonderful memories for them. Long may our relationship continue.”
From 18th June to 12th September, the Donmar’s production of Nick Payne’s beautiful and heart-breaking romance CONSTELLATIONS is revived in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre, with a twist: four different casts take turns to journey through the infinite possibilities of a relationship, each taking the play on afresh. Winner of the Evening Standard Award for Best play CONSTELLATIONS runs at The Vaudeville Theatre (just a 5-minute stroll from One Aldwych) in accordance with the UK’s latest social distancing guidelines.
The actors playing the couples are: Sheila Atim and Ivanno Jeremiah | Peter Capaldi and Zoë Wanamaker | Omari Douglas and Russell Tovey | Anna Maxwell Martin and Chris O’Dowd.

Silvia Melchior, Director of Development, the Donmar Warehouse said:
“There is a lot of common ground between out theatre and a great hotel: the desire to thrill and amaze, the attention to detail and care for our audiences … and as Janine says, we do have this shared goal, to create special and meaningful memories for our guests. I can’t think of a better way of doing that, than working with our neighbour, lovely One Aldwych.”
