malumbu Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Went to the Bridge House in Penge on Monday which has a small (40 seater) theatre upstairs. Thoroughly recommend the perfomance of 'It's a wonderful life'Still tickets for Sat and Sunday https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/event/69219Sadly, even though I am on the mailing list, only made it to the Brockley Jack once in my life and never seen theatre at EDT or the Hob.A zillon years ago went to the Latchmere.Be interested in views of others.

Bovine Juice Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 The Bridge House Theatre has been a huge success. I saw It's A Wonderful Life a couple of weeks ago and can see why it has been getting five star awards; it's a proper theatre, with West End performers, not an am dram effort.

Bellenden Belle Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Just to give a huge thumbs up to theatre503 in Battersea - so easy with the orange line to Clapham junction now.Again this is not an amateur theatre, but instead an award winning theatre that isThe smallest theatre to ever win an Olivier award and had two West End transfers this year.2015 is looking fab including the debut play from Phoebe Eclair-Powell, a local girl (some might make a link from her surname.And the Latchmere where the theatre is based had had a makeover and a change of management - now owned by the same guys who own the Rosendale in Dulwich.www.theatre503.com Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52791-pub-theatres/#findComment-809586 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otta Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Saw Macbeth at The Bridge House earlier this year and was VERY impressed. I thoroughly expected it top be very am dram, but the quality of the acting really impressed me, and it worked very well in that intimate environment.Chairs a bit uncomfy though.

Jessicas429 Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Used to love the White bear in Kennington (not been for 2 years but doesn't look much changed from the outside). Saw a great Jez Butterworth 'the winterling' in 2011. Pub stays open reasonably late afterwards and had a great jukebox which is hopefully still there.

PeckhamRose Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 There's a great comedy show at the Comedy Museum theatre in Bloomsbury starting 3rrd February. Starring Jonathan Hansler and Clive Greenwood it's called the Afterlife of Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. I saw an early draft version of this and it's hysterical. The full length show should be a scream. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/52791-pub-theatres/#findComment-809644 Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeckhamNicola Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Not a pub but hey, small local theatres (with bars): the Blue Elephant in Camberwell, occasional theatre companies in residence at the Bussey building in Peckham (including some really fantastic'theatre local' by the Royal Court), the Southwark Playhouse near Elephant (brilliant) and the Ovalhouse.

malumbu Posted January 1, 2015 Author Share Posted January 1, 2015 Thanks for the excellent suggestions and the further recommendations for the Bridge House - despite the seats!Went to the White Bear years ago when a friend of a friend did a production and similarly the Blue Elephant more recently. When I lived out in the sticks we regularly used to see am dram - usually a Stoppard or similar play and it was always entertaining. With that in mind in the last century I went to West Norwood Theatre, which I understand they are always trying to save http://www.southlondontheatre.co.uk/newSLT/Also an odd theatre under the arches at Waterloo station.
