About the Noel Coward Theatre
The Noel Coward Theatre is haunted, or so says the former EastEnders actor Jake Wood, who claimed the ghost of Charles Whydham, who built the theatre, haunts the stage, and was spotted entering Lily Allen's dressing room at the venue while they were working on 2:22 - A Ghost Story. Past shows at the Noel Coward Theatre include The Inheritance, All About Eve, The Comeback, and The Night of the Iguana.
