Incredibly earnest community theatre with a "special emphasis on movement, gesture, and visual impact" They have a great reputation for new dance.
The main CPT theatre is street-level and small but psychically spacious, having a kind of dry sepulchral air which is (usually) excited rather than interrupted by the sonic interventions of passing Hampstead Road revellers. There's also a zero-rake basement space which is hot like the home of the Devil and likely to activate latent claustrophobic anxieties.
The CPT is a friendly, well thought out theatre and they get some great new writers here thanks to the arty community living around them.

I reviewed my first piece of experimental theatre here: Donkey Shadow by Petra’s Pulse. Two performers danced around with watermelons on their heads, threw fish up and down and rolled cooking pans in ellipses on the floor. The main CPT theatre is street-level and small, having a kind of dry sepulchral air which is (usually) exciting. (There's also a zero-rake basement space which is hot like Hell and likely to activate latent claustrophobic anxieties.) Administration is charmingly chaotic, with audience sometimes forced to sit on the stage.

Last time I went here one of the actors ended up naked, locked outside the venue and hammering on the windows while the audience laughed and bemused passers by stared at his bare arse.

I saw a place at the table, which was interesting in its staging but pretty awful in its performance. Bonus points for staging something on a neglected topic (Burundian genocide) around a giant conference table, negative points for tying people up in phone cords and cheapening the subject matter by comparing it to knife crime in Brixton.
