Southwark Playhouse, London

Came here to watch ‘Cockfosters’ which was absolutely brilliant. Excellent cast and a very clever and hilarious script. The venue has a charm about it and is quite intimate, with no frills and lots of smiling staff. Staff are friendly and helpful (ushers and bar staff) and it’s certainly somewhere I’d recommend and return to.

Great place for small and indie plays. So far I’ve watched two plays here and both times it’s been great. Has a bar for alcoholic drinks, hot drinks and cold non alcoholic drinks. Toilets are clean and genderless. This time I watched Cockfosters and that was a really fun and funny play. Highly recommend. Seating is comfortable enough and the theatre is small enough that you’re close to the action but not so small you feel Cramped. In my seat, I’m about 1/3 away from the stage and I could see everything.

A nice intimate venue with two theatres with friendly and helpful staff/volunteers. It's a short walk (5-10 mins) from Elephant & Castle train station (Thameslink) and underground station. There's a small bar and seating in the reception area. I saw Beautiful Little Thing in The Large. I was on the front row, which was very close to the action. Due to its size, even on the back row is a good view.

This theater feels small yet spacious at the same time. I’ve watched six performances here from different seats, and I was satisfied with every one of them. The staff are always very friendly, which makes the experience before and after the show truly pleasan.
