Songbirds, a chandelier and no green: how Theatre Royal Haymarket's historic star dressing room was remade

With dusty pink wallpaper covered in flowers and songbirds, two sofa chairs in brighter florals and a floor-length mirror with a golden frame this room would not look out of place on the cover of House and Garden.

If it did, it would likely be the first theatre dressing room to do so, as this space sits at the top of Theatre Royal Haymarket in the West End. It has hosted legendary actors including Ingrid Bergman, Noel Coward, Lauren Bacall, Alec Guinness, Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Bradley Cooper – and now it’s the home of Succession star Sarah Snook as she plays all 26 parts in The Picture of Dorian Grey.
