Welcome to The Kenneth More Theatre
Current Season
The Kenneth More Theatre gave its first performance on 31st December 1974. Its official opening was on January 3rd 1975.
The building is owned by the London Borough of Redbridge and is leased to the Redbridge Theatre Company Ltd, a registered charity (Registration No. 264673.)
It is named after the actor Kenneth More, who died in 1982. Kenneth More himself had no particular connection with Ilford, but in the late 1960s/early 1970s it was the fashion to name theatres after prominent living performers (e.g. the Olivier, Ashcroft, Redgrave, Yvonne Arnaud & Thorndike Theatres all date from around this time.)
