I went to see Scrooge and the Seven Dwarves. It was a fantastic show for young and old. It was interactive, funny, and kept the audience involved. I did not know what to expect going into the show, but I was beyond pleased when I left. The theatre is above a pub which is perfect for before and after the show. If you are in the mood for something other than pub food there is a a nice Thai restaurant across the street, Bangkok Bay.

This is a lovely intimate venue above the Lachmere pub. Friendly staff and a great location if you want to team the show with dinner or drinks (with it being right above a pub...) Went to see a small performance there recently and really enjoyed it - would definitely go again.

Not the comfiest, but certainly one of the most important theatres in London, some fantastic social theatre and demonstrates again and again the importance of Theatre to the community.
Also above a great pub...

Me and my 7 year old daughter went to see scrooge and the seven dwarfs it was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages. Having said I brought my 7 year old I would also recommend to it to people without children there is lots of adult humour that will go over the head of young children's head. Such a wonderful little theatre with friendly production and staff would give it 6 stars if I could.

Okay so the play I saw was fantastic. Wendy's big adventure. The actors were so bloody funny and the script and execution so brilliant it made up for the somewhat excessively priced tickets (considering the venue). It's such a small space and they've done well with it. Definitely needs a bell to ring on the pub floor to guide people that the play is starting or that an interval has ended.

This is a nice intimate venue, showcasing local and little known talent. However, the theatres itself is only accessible by a steep staircase in a corner of the pub and then ANOTHER set of stairs in another corner. Once you get into the auditorium you most likely will walk down a set of stairs to find your seat. The seats are reasonably comfortable bench style seats, the auditorium is cosy and I like the support for local talent. My main issue is that in 2020 the auditorium is very hard to access if you are anything but quite physically fit and able bodied. I spoke to staff and they recognise the issue. Apparently the company are looking for new premises. Plus points are that you can bring your drinks up from the pub downstairs and the staff are really lovely.

The pub aspect of the place downstairs was a disappointment with the usual thing of a busy staff not able to work out who to serve next but clearly favouring women rather than men. Perhaps the theatre and/or the pub should consider letting the theatre have its own bar upstairs then there wouldn't be this disjunction between the two activities.

Interesting place, friendly staff and a good performance ("Confessional"). They gave us student discount even though we didn't have UK student cards. Small stage very close to the audience creates a unique atmosphere. And you're allowed to bring a drink from the bar downstairs (not sure if that's a plus, though).
