The Duchess Theatre was designed by Ewen Barr and is one of the smallest proscenium arched theatres in the West End.
It opened in November 1929 and boasts the record for the shortest run in history when the audience walked out before the end of the first performance of The Intimate Revue in 1930 and subsequent shows were cancelled.
This theatre is currently owned by Max Weitzenhoffer and Nica Burns.
