The Fortune Theatre opened in 1924, the first theatre to do so after World War one and two was built in a classic Italian.
The building was Grade II listed in 1994 and now that the original Wembley Stadium has been demolished, is the oldest remaining building in London made solely out of concrete.
The Fortune Theatre’s first production was entitled ‘Sinner’s, a play which ran for only two weeks. During World War II the theatre was used to entertain troops. Since then many famous names have graced its stage, including Dame Judi Dench, Dirk Bogarde, Peter Cook and Dudley Moore
