The Duke of York's Theatre, currently home to hit comedy Stones In His Pockets, was where the original production of James Barrie's Peter Pan took place in 1904 and - less ethereally - where theatre union Equity held its inaugural meeting.
Now the Duke of York's is joining larger theatres - like the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, and the London Palladium - with its own backstage tour, which has plenty (as theatres tend to do) of ghostly goings-on to relate: a costume that tried to kill; an iron door which is heard to slam shut each night - even though it no longer exists; the woman who dominated the building for over three decades, whose ghost is still seen in the theatre.
The tour begins at 12 noon and lasts 75 minutes.
