I am researching the performance history of the play 'Oscar Wilde' by Leslie & Sewell Stokes, starring Robert Morley, which was produced by Norman Marshall at the the Gate Theatre Studio, 16A Villiers Street, London WC2, 29 September – 8 November, 1936. Is it possible that the New Players Theatre, 4 The Arches, Villiers Street, and the Gate Theatre Studio are one and the same? Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Dnfenner

As far as I understand, this was not the Gate Theatre. There were a number of arches. This theatre originated as the Charing Cross Music Hall. That one, I believe began as a cinema. Kbthompson (talk) 00:24, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Have a look at Gate Theatre Studio, it appears to refer to 16a. The dates are wrong though as this building was used as a cinema. Kbthompson (talk) 00:28, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
