Theatre downstairs
Our downstairs theatre is our biggest space. Like the upstairs space, its configuration is flexible: it has been used for installations, in traverse, deep thrust and end-on set ups. When configured in thrust, the playing space is of a size comparable with many mid-scale venues. The theatre seats up to 150, and has a large, accessible newly refurbished dressing room.
