Ernest Schaufelberg designed this intimate art deco style theatre, which was completed in November 1924. With just over 400 seats, it is one of the smaller theatres in London. It has a number of interesting architectural features, in particular it being one of the first examples of ‘ferro-concrete’ construction. The theatre is perhaps most famous for the long running show ‘Woman in Black’, which has run for over 6,000 performances since 1989. The small theatre is the ideal setting for this chilling play that contains few actors.
