I don't know why it took me so long to see this (it opened in 2017). It's brilliant! It makes really good use of the space (hard to imagine them ever using it for anything else now, like the theatre that has Cabaret in it). It would have been nice to have a bit more of a nose around the building.
Despite its age it still works really well and is a thrilling piece of theatre. I wonder if Lucy Bailey minds being the woman who now has to put on the Christie plays all the time?
