The Teatro Britanico is part of the British Cultural Center in Lima and stages professional theatrical performances with well known actors of the local scene. The group was created in 1949 with the intention of promoting British theater in Lima and bringing together those interested in acting and all further aspects of the theater.
From 1983 onwards the theater began to be used by various independent professional theater companies. From this time onward the British Theater stages plays not only from British playwrights but works from writers other countries too. The Association has always been keenly interested in promoting the theater in Peru.
