History
1870s
The building, which now houses the Donmar, serves as a vat room and hop warehouse for the local brewery in Covent Garden
1920s
The space is used as a film studio and then the Covent Garden Market banana-ripening depot
1961
Theatre impresario Donald Albery buys the warehouse and converts it into a private rehearsal studio for the London Festival Ballet, a company he formed with his friend, the great ballerina Margot Fonteyn. The combination of their Christian names gives the space its current name.
1977-81
The Royal Shakespeare company makes the Donmar its London home to complement its Stratford venue.

Sam Mendes oversees the redesign of the theatre, retaining the distinctive characteristics of the former warehouse, and the unique thrust stage, while making the welcome addition of two bars, adjacent to a spacious foyer, and significant improvements backstage.
