The '''Gate Theatre''' is a theatre in London which originally established above the [[Prince Albert pub]] in Notting Hill in 1979 with the founding mission to bring groundbreaking international work to London.

Originally a studio near [[Covent Garden]], the Gate Theatre was opened in 1925 and quickly established a reputation for presenting British premieres of foreign classics and contemporary work, including plays by [[August Strindberg]], [[Eugene O'Neill]] and later [[John Steinbeck]] and [[Jean Cocteau]]. With actors such as [[Robert Morley]], [[Flora Robson]] and [[Cyril Cusack]], the Gate was an important fixture in British Theatre, until it was destroyed by bombing in the [[The Blitz|Blitz]] in March 1941. |

The Gate has won numerous awards, including Olivier, Critic's Circle, Peter Brook, Fringe First, LWT, and Time Out awards. Its work has been nominated for Off West End, Stage, Evening Standard, Carol Tambor, Amnesty International, and South Bank awards.<ref>{{cite web|title=History|url=http://www.gatetheatre.co.uk/about-us/about-the-gate/history|website=Gate Theatre|access-date=22 July 2014|archive-date=26 July 2014|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140726143754/http://www.gatetheatre.co.uk/about-us/about-the-gate/history|url-status=dead}}</ref> |
