London's stages and concert rooms: the West End houses and the playhouses that make their own shows, the grand halls, the churches with a musical life, the jazz basements, the comedy clubs, the clubs proper, the rooms above pubs where things start, and the booth on Leicester Square that sells off what the West End has not. What is on is listed under each venue, and in What's On.
What is on at them this week is in What's On: Performance
Sixty-three seats on the Hampstead Road, given over to artists at the very start of making something unusual.

Former members of the Unity Theatre started it in 1994, the year Unity closed, and it holds sixty-three people. The whole programme is built round one decision: it books artists at the beginning of their careers making work that does not fit an existing shape, rather than established people doing a small version of what they usually do.
Two festivals carry it. Sprint has run every spring since 1997 and is the longest-established festival of new and unusual performance in London - a fortnight of first attempts, some of which will be touring in three years. Calm Down, Dear has run since 2013 and is the only festival of innovative feminist theatre in the country.
Tickets are among the cheapest in London for a reason: a good proportion of what you see will be unfinished, and that is the offer rather than an apology for it.
