Well-established fringe theatre in Dalston, specialising in new writing. Previously located on Arcola Street just off Stoke Newington Road photo, in early 2011 it moved to new premises in a former paint factory opposite Dalston Junction Station.
It has two auditoriums, seating approximately 200 and 100 people respectively. Both make use of the building's original architectural features, such as exposed brickwork. It also has a bar and cafe.
Accessibility: Flat access to the foyer and both entrances to the larger auditorium. Step-free access to the toilets, bar, and entrance to smaller auditorium via a lift from the foyer. Both auditoriums have a small amount of seating on the level (checked in person by us), and according to their website both auditoriums also have wheelchair spaces.
