Bijou Theatre, Bayswater

The Bijou Theatre in the Victoria Hall, Archer Street, Westbourne Grove, Bayswater, London, was used for private and amateur theatrical performances in the late-nineteenth and early-twentieth centuries.

On 15 February 1878 the Philo-Dramatic Society performed Lovell's Love's Sacrifice; or, The Rival Merchants alongside the farce How to Die for Love.

On 10 and 13 May 1905 the New Stage Club held a private subscription performance of Oscar Wilde's Salome under the direction of actress Florence Farr. This was the first performance of Wilde's controversial work in Britain, as it had been banned by the Lord Chamberlain due to its depiction of biblical characters. There was no public performance of the play until 1931.

On 11 January 1907 a group called The Argonauts performed A Point of View by Arnold Whiteley.

Nugent Monck had founded the English Drama Society in 1905, and on 6 May 1907 they staged Cleopatra in Judea - a one act piece by Arthur Symons, and a comedy in three acts by Monck called The Hour. In the programme for these works it reads: "The English Drama Society was founded in June, 1905, by a group of Professional Actors, to perform Plays of literary merit, to produce as simply and artistically as possible, and to pay great attention to correctness of detail. During the twenty months they have been in existence they have met with so much success that they feel the time is ripe to permanently establish a "Theatre Libre" in London". They had performed other works such as Henrik Ibsen's Ghosts, the Chester mystery plays and Rossetti's The Dialogue of D'Alcarmo.

On 11 March 1908 the New Stage Club performed two comedies by Arthur Schnitzler, which had been translated by Edith A. Browne and Alix Grein - Literature and The Farewell Supper. The society's previous productions had included Ibsen's Love's Comedy and George Bernard Shaw's The Philanderer, as well as Wilde's Salome, mentioned above.
