The Duchess Theatre is one of the smallest in the West End, with a capacity of only 479. This ‘proscenium arched’ venue was designed by Ewen Barr and was completed in November 1929. The design is notable for having a narrower circle than the stalls, and this allows for some excellent viewing. Famous performances at the Duchess include Oh, Calcutta!, Don’t Dress for Dinner and The Herbal Bed. The Players Theatre Company also performed here between 1987 and 1990 while their new home near Charing Cross was being built.
