Dorfman Theatre, London

Went to see Connections performance, a suitable sized venue with adequate seating, although higher up there were some obstructed view seating and sitting like at a bar counter wasn't ideal...but we did find unused more suitable seating. An enjoyable evening. Parking was a breeze, although an issue with the parking system meant getting out was more stressful than it should've been. Would I go again? Yes.

The Dorfman is very badly sign posted. It's outside the main theatre complex. The reception area is very basic with nowhere to sit, the Auditorium is nice and small. The play itself (Man and Boy) was good. I'm guessing the whole Dorfman theatre will at some stage be completely revamped as it's not really suitable

Dorfman Theatre is a gem if you like theatre that feels close, bold, and a little bit unpredictable (in the best way). The smaller setting creates real intimacy — you’re never far from the action, and it makes performances land with extra impact. Programming is often adventurous, with new writing and inventive staging that feels genuinely fresh. It’s also well run: smooth entry, helpful staff, and a great atmosphere in the building overall. If you want something more immediate and experimental than a big West End night, the Dorfman is an excellent choice.

As a theatre space it is flexible, meaning seating could be different for each show. Generally good views, depends on staging though. Many seats in stalls area are more like temporary seats and not the most comfortable. Foyer and bar area gets crowded prior to show and at interval.
