Playhouse Theatre Whitstable Reviews

Showcasing the best am-dram and local talent around

Went to watch The Lindley Players production of "The Woman who cooked her Husband". The play was excellent.

One of my favourite theatre venues. Small and very comfortable with great acoustics. Plenty of interesting events throughout the year. Excellent theatre bar where acts often interact with the audience in the breaks.

Beautiful old theatre. Centre of town. Very efficiently run.

Great small theatre; very welcoming and idiosyncratic building.

Fantastic little theatre and great production of 39 Steps.

Saw the rat pack show absolutely brilliant. Very friendly and helpful staff very reasonable bar prices. Charming Victorian theatre

A very unique theatre. We had a great time with Dire StraitsUK and Genesis Legacy.

Fantastic little Theatre, watched simply swing, great music. Booked in for The Elegal Eagles, lovely bar area.

It was very welcoming inexpensive and great atmosphere. Lovely looking theatre.

The Playhouse Theatre is a beautiful little venue. It seats about 200. It has good size bar area with a well stocked bar.
They have had professional touring shows, some of Britain's best stand up comics as well as some of the best amateur productions in the Southeast. The resident Lindley Players frequently win awards for the shows they perform there.

Great little theatre which has a varied number of productions throughout the year for everyone to enjoy.

A great little theatre with great drink prices and great shows can't go wrong!

Lovely theatre, great cosy atmosphere. Refreshments sensibly priced.

Delightful theatre . Just seen a production of (Immaculate). Good atmospheric theatre with an excellent view of the stage. A very good bar. Interesting entertainment throughout the year in the charming coastal town of Whitstable. Will be going again. Next play(The merchant of Venice.). Looks interesting. Convenient parking behind the theatre in Middle Wall car park.

Oldy worldly lovely theatre, enjoy going there, good plays and good reasonable bar for the pauses

Went to the panto for the first time with family and thoroughly enjoyed it. Great performance, lovely venue will go again.

Fantastic play tonight. Woman who cooked her husband. Great actors, very cleverly written and performed.

Great fun meeting others buying their pantomime tickets

For showing NTL, the screen is far too big for the size of the theatre. It gave us motion sickness. Otherwise a cosy small theatre.

Lovely small theatre. Excellent productions, friendly staff, comfortable bar, nearby car park.

Great small theatre both to visit and to perform in. The Lindley Players run this theatre and put on good quality theatre productions. Outside groups also perform and there are one-off shows including NT live screenings. Masses of character includes substantial backstage area and large bar.

Beautiful little theatre with friendly staff and a well stocked bar. Very varied programme.

Local Am Dram theatre with very 'professional actors. A warm friendly theatre, with a bar. We saw Bull and Bush.....songs from back in the day, monologues rec. Brilliant..

My very first time here! Didn't even know it was there! Lovely theatre , lovely atmosphere , comfortable seats too

Saw the Alter Eagles here tonight, they smashed it.

Robin Hood was a laugh from start to finish.(Especially Sherrif of Nottingham) Well done to all!

Great value for money brilliant venue and lots of good things to come and see

First visit, more to come I'm sure.
Comfortable seating, intimate venue and friendly Whitstable people.
Watched Alan Ackborn play, well acted, directed, lit, etc. Applause to all involved.
Many thanks.

The productions are superb with a very talented cast

Wonderful atmospheric place. Good scenery and actors. I would love visting and watching again whenever I'll get the possibility. Thank you! Recommendable

We saw simply swing a good evening and the Playhouse is great,all be very hot upstairs.

GREAT. A small local theatre. Parking is available close to it but it would be advisable to arrive early.

A lovely building run by the Lindley Players. It has a good range of plays and entertainment on offer throughout the year with productions by Wiley Wolf, Theatrecraft and the Lindley Players and many more groups. There are shows for everyone. I've just seen a great production of Sweeny Todd and am looking forward to seeing an Alan Akbourne play and a farce later in the year.
Very good value for money and the FOH are great too.

Lovely venue, friendly staff and an evening of great music.

Very nice local theatre, that puts on very good shows.

Awesome theatre performed with The Rat Pack here many times and the theatre just gets better and better every year

Thank goodness Whitstable manages to not just hang onto this gem of a little theatre but advance it's offerings with National Theatre live. Tonight's Hansard was outstanding.

Beautiful theatre, lovely helpful staff (volunteers). Great productions and acts.

Very nice little theatre. Went there for a Panto with the kids and had great time. Close to the Peter Cushing Wetherspoons so we had a chance for a few pints and some chicken wings before the show and then into the small intimate venue where the players were excellent.
We saw sleeping beauty which is kind of one of the duller fairytales but the characters made it very entertaining and the kids loved it.
Make sure you order your interval drinks at the bar before the show starts and you can't go wrong. Reasonable prices, intimate venue and great local players.

Went to see the opening night of 'Snake in the Grass'. It was absolutely fantastic. Better than some shows we have seen at the Marlowe. Very impressed, very funny and a little scary. All three actors should be sooooo proud of themselves. Well dine. Also the bar was very friendly and good prices. Thanks for a brilliant evening. John and Julie.

Fabulous night. Great am/dram company. Very talented people. Highly recommend you see a show.

Great panto as always lovely little theatre would recommend.

The woman who cooked her husband

As good as it gets. laugh until you can't breathe

I went to see " the woman who cooked her husband" last evening. It is the funniest thing I have seen in a long long time.The acting was superb . The content hilarious. The audience collapsed in uncontrollable laughter from the start to the finish. It was hysterical. Worthy of being in the West End. I am always impressed with everything that The Lindley Players produce. Well done. A real tonic. Thank you for an absolutely superb evening.

Date of experience: May 2019

A great traditional theatre in the heart of Whitstable. Small enough to give a cosy feel without feeling claustrophobic. A bar on site with a good selection of drinks and bar snacks.

Nice little theatre, with an excellent amateur drastic society, as well as visiting companies.

Came here to see Genesis Legacy and had a fab night! Beautiful theatre with lovely, welcoming staff and friendly locals!

Great small theatre with lovely intimate atmosphere and comfy seats
