As far back as 1957 it appeared as the ‘Palace Theatre’ from which TV celeb Sonny MacGregor ( Peter Sellers) broadcasts in darkly satirical comedy The Naked Truth, as the ‘Buenos Aires’ theatre in which Eva Duarte ( Madonna) first meets Juan Peron ( Jonathan Pryce) in Evita, and it’s where Lawrence Talbot ( Benicio Del Toro) is playing Hamlet at the beginning of The Wolfman.
Opened in 1899 (34 years after the death of Lincoln) and designed by theatre architect Frank Matcham, the Richmond has featured regularly onscreen. The Presidential box and the stage onto which John Wilkes Booth leaps are those of Richmond Theatre in southwest London.
