00:00The Duke of York's Theatre in London's West End is to be renamed after playwright Sir Tom Stoppard following his
00:07death in November last year.
00:09Owners say the venue will become the Tom Stoppard Theatre as a lasting tribute to one of Britain's most influential
00:15dramatists.
00:16ATG Entertainment did not say whether the decision is linked to the former Duke of York, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor,
00:23who lost his title following associations with Jeffrey Epstein.
00:27The theatre was originally called the Trafalgar Square Theatre and became the Duke of York's in 1895,
00:34named after the Duke who later became King George V.
00:38Arcadia is currently playing there, with signage changing soon.
