Marlowe Theatre
The Marlowe
A modern theatre named after the playwright Marlowe, regularly staging West End touring musicals, ballet and Christmas pantomimes.
The Marlowe was rebuilt in 2011 and is one of the main performance venues in south-east England. Throughout the year it hosts West End touring musicals, the English National Ballet, comedy and drama, and winter Christmas pantomimes are especially popular. The theatre sits beside the River Stour, with a restaurant and riverside terrace. Popular shows should be booked online in advance; tickets cost about £20–70. Located in the old town's centre, it is a short walk back to your accommodation after the show.
