The Gate Theatre was an important club theatre of its day. Founded in 1925 by Peter Godfrey, it stood in one of the bars underneath the arches of Charing Cross Station in Villiers Street. Godfrey specialised in unlicensed and uncommercial plays, often in translation, including works by Jean Cocteau, Eugene O'Neill and Ernst Toller. The Gate Theatre also held a yearly intimate revue. Peter Godfrey was succeeded in 1934 by Norman Marshall. | Format: | Photographs (production) | Subjects: | Theater - England - London - 20th century; Stage photography - England - London; Theater - Photographs | Temporal: | 1925-1934 20th century | Source: | Backstage | Address: | Blythe House, 23 Blythe Road, London,
