We recently (16-Aug-25) attended a performance of ‘Daughter of Time’ while in London for a few days. Its location (a short walk from The Clermont and the Charing Cross station) made it an easy access. The show was a delight to watch, and the venue was charming and quite unique…the rumble of the trains passing overhead were periodically heard. However this in no way detracted from the sound quality or performance of the fine acting cast. The staffed bar adjacent to the theatre provided drinks for purchase during the intermission between acts. It was a very pleasant evening’s entertainment.

I enjoyed my first visit to the theatre. It was a nice size and my seat in the balcony was comfortable enough for non theatre style chairs. Lots of leg room as the chairs were movable. Would visit this theatre again.
