The Marjanishvili Theatre is one of Tbilisi's main stages, located on Agmashenebeli Avenue in the Marjanishvili district on the left bank. The building dates from the 1930s and has a distinctive constructivist facade. The theatre presents Georgian-language productions of classics, contemporary Georgian plays, and international works in translation.
The surrounding neighbourhood is one of the best areas in Tbilisi for an evening stroll and dinner — the streets around the theatre have a good concentration of restaurants and bars with an authentic local feel, less touristy than the old town. The theatre itself is worth considering for an evening's entertainment even for non-Georgian speakers if the production is visually strong.
