The Novelty Theatre (later renamed the Great Queen Street Theatre from 1900 to 1907, and the Kingsway Theatre from 1907 to 1941) was a London theatre.[1] It opened in 1882 at No 8 Great Queen Street. The theatre was accessed from Little Queen Street until 1905 and from the new Kingsway road from 1905 onwards. It hosted the London premiere of A Doll's House in 1889. The theatre closed in 1941, was heavily damaged in the Blitz and was demolished in 1959.
