This design has proved problematic for the Theatre ever since as ground water has to be permanently pumped out of the basement by several dedicated pumps, rather like the bilge pumps on a boat. Right - The Circle and Ceiling of the Duchess Theatre in the 1990s. - Photo M.L. |

This small playhouse has a capacity of only 479 and the sight-lines are excellent due to the Circle being suspended from the roof . The Theatre has concealed lighting throughout.
