Birmingham's performing arts companies are well regarded throughout the country. Catch a performance if you can.
Set within an ultramodern building next to the staggering contemporary design of Birmingham’s library, the revered Birmingham Repertory Theatre is one of England’s oldest (founded in 1913) and most esteemed theater companies. All about the live performance, it’s equally at home performing modern or classical works.
First opened in 1901, the Alexandra, or “the Alex” as it is affectionately known, welcomes touring companies on their way to or from London’s West End. Bookings and queries should be done online.
