A medium size (60 seat) but comfortable and well lit fringe theatre in the atmospheric vaults beneath a pub frequented by LAMDA students. With the cream of the country's young talent propping up the bar and an attractive setting, this place attracts great fringe drama and you can expect rather a high standard.

The service in the pub can be a bit slow as the aspiring thespians chat among themselves, but you'll win smiles and promptly delivered drinks if you pretend to recognise them from an appearance in The Bill. The theatrical bill of fare is more reliable, with a healthy proportion of work from established playwrights and about one piece of new writing every month.
