The theatre opened on 25 November 1929 and is one of the smallest West End theatres with a proscenium arch. The Duchess Theatre was designed by Ewen Barr and constructed by F. G. Minter Ltd for Arthur Gibbons with the stalls below street level, both to overcome the scale of the site and to maintain the rights of neighbours to ancient lights.
