Please note that the advertised times are the start of the actual performance, not the time when doors open: please arrive in good time to collect your tickets and take your seats as, in most cases, we CANNOT admit latecomers for whatever reason. If you arrive after the start of a show you will NOT be entitled to a refund, so why not come early instead and enjoy a drink or a meal in our licensed Cafe/Gallery beforehand.


Screening of The Tempest

This specially-commissioned film about the making of Oval House Youth Theatre Company's acclaimed 2008 production of Shakespeare's Tempest follows the performers through the rehearsal process up to the production, telling both the story of The Tempest, but also the story of the performers' relationship to the play: how they come to terms with an initially alien text and what the production means for them. 

The impetus of the film was to explore how the performers, all of them from inner-city London, would connect with the language, the narrative and the characters of one of Britain’s most famous historical playwrights, as they explore the relationship between Shakespeare's mythical island and the reality of living in a contemporary south London 'island'.
