Went to see Play On! (which was fantastic) but the theatre itself is lovely. The chairs are arranged really well, so no matter where you are there's a good view of the stage. The seats also have a decent amount of leg room, so my fairly tall partner could sit very comfortably with space for a bag on the floor. I didn't spend much time at the bar, but the layout was very clean and easy to navigate. It's not a large space, but they really make the most of the space they've got. The staff were also very friendly. I haven't marked it down for it, but I wish there had been a lift. There are only 2 floors above the ground, so I could still get up with my cane, but it would have been a bit easier.

I watched Play On! And it was amazing! Everyone was so funny and talented. It's also always lovely to see an all black/mixed race cast and to see them shine 🤩

Lovely theater. Very high ceilings I'm 6ft 4 and even when I stretched I could reach the top. They have people with signs but I couldn't reads them so took a blurry picture. Was something about cameras I think. Lots of stairs to get to theater but there are lifts if you need them. Saw Macbeth it was a really really good modern production.

We went to watch Play On! The musical. The theatre was a very short walk from the tube station. Nice and modern building. The seats in the theatre were comfortable. The lighting on the stage was a bit odd as it didn't really flatter the performers on the stage. Plenty of toilets, bar, water machine.
