Take A Seat at the Donmar Warehouse - new campaign video

 

The Donmar Warehouse is currently undergoing essential building works,

getting ready to reopen in September 2021. They shared a new video with

Eddie Redmayne in support of their new campaign. Eddie popped in to

see the work in progress at the Donmar and got behind the Take a Seat

campaign to help the theatre get back into shape by September. Take a look

at the video and find out what Eddie got up to on his visit to the theatre.

"For me, this theatre the Donmar is not only one of the greatest theatres in the world

but also the most intimate. You can literally hear the audience breathe and they can see

every bead of sweat. It genuinely feels like you're kind of in your living room with

your family, just like performing for them."

So how many seats there gonna be? About 250.

"When I was doing 'Red', there was a moment in the play where Alfred Molina

and I had to prime this massive canvas with bright red paint. I was coming to

work one day on the tube and this lady opposite me kind of tapped me on the

knee and she pointed to this massive red blotch of paint on her handbag and

she said 'you did this' and I went 'I'm so sorry!' and she said 'no-no, I kept it

as a souvenir from my night at the Donmar.' You only get that intimacy here."

"You guys too can be a part of the Donmar family and join me in helping

support this beautiful theatre as it emerges from the pandemic. All we need

now are some seats with your names on them... Thank You."
