The Leatherhead Theatre
The Leatherhead Theatre, 7 Church Street, Leatherhead, Surrey, KT22 8DN
The Leatherhead Theatre, formerly know as the Thorndike Theatre, was the brainchild of Hazel Vincent Wallace, Managing Director of the Leatherhead Repertory Company, and Architect Roderick Ham. The venue was subsequently awarded Grade II listed status as a structure of architectural significance having been recognised as one of the best and most influential theatre designs of it time.
It is said that coffee, hard work, enthusiasm and goodwill built the new theatre. The Sunday Times reported ' community identity has been the keynote all the way through'. More than half of the money raised to cover the construction cost was in small sums from thousands of well- wishers.
