About this space

Design: Theatre's interior is a compact black-box layout with black curtains and a low ceiling, presenting an unadorned stage area that keeps attention on the performance.

Features: A technical setup includes stage lighting and a PA system with speakers and provisions for playing your own music. A flat performance floor provides a clear dance area and allows flexible seating arrangements. Amenities include Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, step-free access and accessible toilets; the space is wheelchair accessible and subject to a noise restriction.
