   My first time at this theatre. Loved the informal, relaxed vibe of the whole place and the unusual closeness to the actors. A memorable occasion!

   Great theatre. Every seat has a great view and it puts on excellent, high end performances. No issues with legs room but bench seats can mean you are a little cosy with neighbours. But if you would prefer a little more individual space, they also have a few raised seats and an upstairs platform. Book ahead, it can get sold out quickly.

   Lovely intimate little theatre that nevertheless attracts some well know actors to perform there. All performances are in the round so you get very up close and personal with the performers for a really immersive experience. The staging is creative and intelligent to name the use of backdrops etc. We were there for a performance of Churchill in Moscow and it was excellent!

   This small theatre is housed in a former school building. I saw Twelfth Night, which was performed 'in the round' so at some point performers would have their backs to you. There is no raised stage so the front row of the stalls are VERY close to performers. The balcony has one row of seating all the way around with one side having a second row of a standing area where you can lean on a metal bar. All of the balcony has some restrictions on your view whenever performers are at the edge of the performance area at your side. The seating is very cramped, particularly in the balcony where many lean forward and rest elbows on the barrier.

   Had a wonderful first time seeing a show here with my family. Staff were friendly, jugs of water and glasses available at the bar, they had tampons in their toilets which I thought was amazing- I don't think I've ever gone to a place before that provides tampons! When we got to the upper floor seats I booked, there was a handwritten note welcoming us which I thought was really thoughtful of them especially considering how busy they must be with the holiday rush! The view was great and the seats were comfy- I found I had enough leg room (I'm 6'1ft) to enjoy a 2 hour and 40 minutes show in comfort. Because of seat availability, my brother was seated away from us in a lower floor seat. He said the view and comfort was outstanding and that he felt like he was part of the show because of how close he was to the stage! I do believe that you would have a good view whichever seat you're in, from what I could tell there was no seats with restricted views. Can't wait to return to this beautiful theatre in the new year!

   Amazing intimate theatre with stunning programming. Loved Tom Kempinski's "Duet for One" this afternoon and amlooking forward to Somerset Maugham's The Circle in May.

   Loved "Arms and the Man." Loved Alex Bhat! The whole cast was perfect. Great evening. Liked it so much that we have already booked tickets for "The Circle." Excellent evening!

   The current production of Arms and the Man met all expectations. It was first class in terms of acting performance, direction, props, and costumes. The spirit of GB Shaw was respected. Bravo! More like this please!

   Five stars – it’s not even enough! Breathtaking, heartbreaking and so life-affirming experience I had yesterday when watching “The solid life of sugar water” play. Highly recommend this play and the theatre. Cozy and intimate, like nothing else, I can’t wait to come back to the next play. Thanks to everyone involved in making this place so good to visit.

   Came here for Two Billion Beats and had a wonderful time! Booking online was seamless with an option to order drinks beforehand, which arrive in paper bags on your seat when you arrive. The space is cozy and gives such an intimate experience. The staff were professional on site, they and audience were all wearing masks.
