Book tickets at Fortune Theatre
We have special offers available on tickets for The Woman In Black.
This intimate theatre was built on the site of the old Albion Tavern, and opened in November 1924. The beginnings of the Fortune Theatre were anything but fortunate. The opening play, %u2018Sinners%u2019 by Laurence Cowen, closed after two weeks. Over the next few decades, the Fortune Theatre had to resort to showing amateur plays and during World War II the venue was used by ENSA, the concert party corps of the Forces. But in the 1960s the theatre%u2019s fortunes began to change. Beyond the Fringe (1961) was shown at the Fortune Theatre, and it was a massive success, launching the careers of Peter Cook, Dudley Moore, Jonathan Miller and Alan Bennett. Its other blockbuster hit has been Stephen Mallatratt%u2019s The Woman in Black (1989), which has been performed (over 5000 times) at the theatre ever since.
