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
Clapham's first open-shelf library, where you could pick a book off the shelf yourself, now a hundred-and-ten-seat theatre.
PlayhousesFringe & pubsWorth it for the building
The building went up as the first open-shelf library in Clapham - a real distinction at the time, when a reader normally asked at a counter and waited while somebody fetched the book. It stopped being a library and became a theatre in 2013, and the main room holds a hundred and ten people with a studio upstairs for seventy-five.
The programme is classics reimagined, twentieth-century revivals and new plays, with a standing commitment to work by and about people who do not usually get a stage, and a long run of LGBTQ+ productions. It sits at the top of Clapham Common, which makes it one of the few theatres in London you would walk to across a park.
