I have seen many wonderful and totally enjoyable shows in Studio 1 but have never been seated within 5 seats of the tech booth before tonight and have now discovered how annoying it is: headphone volume set so high you can hear every word the stage manager says and of course the verbal response of ...

Lovely, cosy independent theatre. I went to watch the matinee of Opera Up Close s Eugene Onegin so sadly the bar everyone raves about was closed but still a great experience. It was great being in the middle of the action. As there is no stage it was very interactive. Friendly staff and interestin...

My favourite theatre in London. What you get here is very finely curated shows that never disappoint the slightly more alternative taste audiences. Fantastic space and location, great bar - the bar would do with better non alcoholic beverages choice though.

Rating a theatre, of course, heavily influenced by the production seen. I saw "The Daughter-in-law" by D. H. Lawrence. A very powerful play well performed in Nottingham dialect of 1912, including many phrases of such interest and fun that I bought the script. The Arcola puts on many fringe productio...

People get up and dance (or not). Free access if you arrive before 8pm or so. It's a great vibe/ community feel a super antidote t...

Intimate place, which is another word for small, but the opera production tonight was magnificent and had a huge impact. Wonderful singing and orchestra.
Trendy warehouse feel to the licensed bar and I love the toilets which recycle water from washing your hands straight down to flush the loo!

Anything can happen in the next ninety minutes in the two studios that make this Dalston venue a go-to buzz: from a.chamber opera of Britten's at Arcola's Grimeborn Festival to a two-hander on working class Asian girls growing up in Newham around 7/7 back to Ethel Smyth's 1914 opera of self-determin...
