The Duchess Theatre is a private theater owned by the Duchess of Maria and hence its name. The theater is large, the interior is modern, and the airport facilities are advanced. It can create a dreamy stage effect, which is very good.
The Duchess opened on 25th November, 1929 and is one of the smallest 'proscenium arched' West End theatres. It has 479 seats on two levels. The nearest Underground stop in Covent Garden. I consider myself really good at finding my way around various cities around the world. London at Covent Garden was one exception. With all the people and dense street configurations, it took me a longer and more confusing period of time to find the Duchess.I came here years ago to see Copenhagen, which was a mesmerizing 3 person show about WWII, nuclear physics, and Niels Bohr. The nuclear-influenced staging was also an integral and fascinating part of the show.And the fact that my son's grandfather and Gayle's Dad spent a great deal of their careers in the nuclear field was an interesting counterpoint to this first class production.
