Fortune Theatre
One of Covent Garden’s smallest venues, the Fortune Theatre instils a sense of both atmosphere and intimacy. Providing guests with some of the best seats in theatre, the stage brings the West End up close.
Built in 1924, the Fortune has seen many stars tread the boards, from Dame Judi Dench to Alan Bennett and beyond! For 33 years, the Fortune Theatre was home to the enigmatic and brilliant production of The Woman in Black, and is now showing the critically acclaimed Operation Mincemeat. Tickets are available to book from our online box office.
