Since its opening in 1993, Theatre at the Spui has become a fixture in The Hague’s cultural landscape. The building is modern and functional, with two auditoriums that host theatre, dance, performance, and festivals. The atmosphere is open and informal, with a public space that feels like a living room for theatre lovers. You might come here for a powerful monologue or an interactive performance exploring current social issues.
The theatre is home to The National Theatre, but also serves as an incubator for emerging artists and guest productions. International shows and festivals like Winternachten, CaDance, and De Betovering are held here annually. The audience is as diverse as the programming from students and culture enthusiasts to curious passers-by who drop in after visiting the adjacent Filmhuis.
Before or after the performance, you can visit the cosy theatre café, where conversations are often just as engaging as the show itself. The bar is relaxed, offering coffee, wine, and light bites. Post-show discussions, lectures, or pop-up performances are regularly held here, theatre doesn’t end with the applause.
Theatre at the Spui isn’t a place for theatre with a golden edge but for stories with a sharp one. A theatre that doesn’t just entertain, but challenges. If you want to understand, feel, or question The Hague, this is where to begin.
