Set inside the National Theatre complex on Upper Ground along the South Bank in SE1, the Dorfman Theatre is London’s most agile new-writing space. Formerly the Cottesloe, this intimate, reconfigurable room places audiences close to the stage, creating a visceral connection to the work. Directors use its adaptable seating and thrust configurations to stage inventive productions that feel immediate and alive.
With around 450 seats and a steep rake, the Dorfman offers excellent sightlines and crisp acoustics that reward detail. Many headline premieres have started here, including People, Places and Things, Lucy Kirkwood’s Mosquitoes starring Olivia Colman, and The Ocean at the End of the Lane, before acclaimed West End runs. Expect bold design, fresh voices and boundary-pushing storytelling across drama, comedy and hybrid forms.
Located minutes from Waterloo, Southwark and Embankment stations, the venue features welcoming bars, step-free access and regular captioned and audio-described performances. Demand is high for limited runs, so plan ahead to catch the next breakthrough night on the South Bank.
