This theatre sometimes allocates tickets to agencies. Details will appear here if appropriate.

Ticket agencies offer an alternative way to buy tickets, with booking fees differing from those charged by the theatre box office itself. They may have seats available or special offers when theatres do not.

Studio Room

Studio Room

Layout

A simple black painted studio room in a space once used as a restaurant.

Seating can be moved around to allow any configuration of stage and audience. The most common seating arrangement is one simple stand with 5 or 7 benches, either with a centre aisle or two outside ones.

The rake is good.

Legroom

Poor in almost all seats, in "normal" layout, worst on the front bench if a barrier is placed in front, but excellent if it isn't of course...

The only good legroom seats (in normal layout) are any back bench spaces which have the aisle staircase in front. Protest vigorously any attempt by the ushers to move you for latecomers to be seated. A bad leg is the best argument...

Choosing seats in general

Seats are unreserved so the earliest arrival gets first pick. Arrive well before the show to choose... and put up a fight for those legroom seats.

Otherwise, second row front and centre is usually best bet for view, aisle seats for one leg's comfort. There’s no really poor seats here.

General hazard notes

Legroom.

Getting involved in the action, intentionally or otherwise.

A reader noted “hard seats.”

Readers comments

“Auditorium: (Iain). The usual seats get rather hard after a while."

“Auditorium: "Dugsi Dayz” (May 2024).(Broadway John). Sat on padded bench in front row with unlimited legroom. Fairly comfortable. Many seating options that looked OK. House only opens 10 minutes before curtain so don't get there too early.”

General price band information

Theatres use "dynamic pricing." Seat prices change according to demand for a particular performance. Prices below were compiled as booking originally opened. Current prices are advised at time of enquiry.

Based on paying FULL PRICE (no discount!) for tickets, site writers and contributing guests have ALSO created the colour-coded plans for "value for money," considering factors like views, comfort and value-for-money compared with other same-priced seats available.

For a full discussion, opinions, reviews, notes, tips, hints and advice on all the seats in this theatre, click on "BEST SEAT ADVICE" (on the left of your screen).

On the plans below:
Seats in GREEN many feel may offer either noticeable value, or something to compensate for a problem; for example, being a well-priced restricted view ticket. Any seats coloured LIGHT GREEN are sold at "premium" prices because the show producer thinks they are the best. The monkey says "you are only getting what you pay for" but uses this colour to highlight the ones it feels best at the price, and help everybody else find equally good seats nearby at lower prices.

Seats in WHITE, many feel, provided about what they pay for. Generally unremarkable.

Seats in RED are coloured to draw attention. Not necessarily to be avoided - maybe nothing specific is wrong with them, other than opinions that there are better seats at the same price. Other times there may be something to consider before buying – perhaps overpricing, obstructed views, less comfort etc.

Please remember that cheaper seats often do not offer the same view / location quality as top price ones, and that ticket prices are designed to reflect this difference.

Notes

This is a studio theatre, so seating is not fixed and can be changed from the "standard" configuration shown above. The grandstand is commonly replaced either with chairs placed around a designated playing area or else a "promenade" area without seating is created.

The most common layouts are shown above.

Note that the front row is "green" if no barrier is placed in front, allowing unlimited legroom.

Please note: The seating plans are not accurate representations of the auditorium. While we try to ensure they are as close to the actual theatre plan as possible we cannot guarantee they are a true representation. Customers with specific requirements are advised to discuss these with the theatre prior to booking to avoid any confusion.
