The Dorfman Theatre, located in London's vibrant South Bank, is an integral part of the National Theatre complex, which is renowned for its compelling stage productions. The theatre was previously known as the Cottesloe Theatre, but was rechristened as Dorfman in 2013, in honour of Travelex founder Lloyd Dorfman's generous contribution towards the theatre's refurbishment. The venue flaunts a flexible auditorium that can accommodate up to 450 spectators based on the punchy and immersive 'in the round' approach or a conventional proscenium setup. It is best known for its dynamic and adventurous play-making approach which includes experimental works and new writing. Each production in Dorfman brings fresh and critical perspectives to the complex dimensions of human lives. The theatre also runs a theatre workshop for children and young adults, ensuring the continuity of its rich theatrical tradition.

**How to get to Dorfman Theatre:** The Dorfman Theatre is easily accessible via public transport. It’s a 5-minute walk from Waterloo and Waterloo East train stations, and a 15-minute walk from Charing Cross station. Several bus routes also have a stop near the theatre on Waterloo Bridge and Upper Ground. By tube, head towards Waterloo, Embankment or Southwark stations which are short walks away to the theatre. The theatre also supports green travel and has cycle racks nearby for those who prefer to bike.

The Dorfman Theatre is the smallest of three spaces that make the [National Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/national-theatre) — joined by the [Olivier Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/olivier-theatre-national) and the [Lyttelton Theatre](https://www.londontheatre.co.uk/theatres/lyttelton-theatre-national). 

The Dorfman entrance is on the east side of the National Theatre, on Stage Door Avenue, opposite the IBM building. The theatre was formerly known as the Cottesloe Theatre.

Due to the flexibility of the staging, the seating is different for almost every production. The flexible seating system can be raised and lowered in minutes, or the seats ccan be folded to create a flat foor.

Performances can be staged in a conventional format at one end; in “traverse”, lengthways or across the space; or in the round. The theatre is reminiscent of the inn-yards that preceded Shakespeare's stages as performance areas.
