| Description |
As you may know - twelve years ago Wilton's was a lone survivor in an un-visited wasteland. It was rediscovered and used for its first public run since 1880 by Deborah Warner and Fiona Shaw. They mounted an iconic production of TS Eliot's The Waste Land in the then derelict music hall. This unforgettable event sparked incredible media attention and the renaissance of our beloved theatre began. |

| Further Information |
Twelve years later we have invited Deborah and Fiona back to celebrate our 150th birthday with a strictly limited run of this smash hit. The performance is a 37 minute tour de force and will the beginning of another 150 years at Wilton’s. Forget the puddings and the presents, this is the perfect antidote to the excesses of the Christmas season!
