    Police Cops Musical

    I have visited this theatre many times so am used to it's slightly boho feel, however it may be difficult to navigate when going for the first time as it isn't really laid out like a typical theatre. Content warnings were available when booking tickets, and again on the day of my visit at the door of the theatre. Booking our seats was easy to do with an online seating plan and access information available to help us pick a space that would best meet our needs. Unfortunately there were no free carer tickets for this show, despite this being an accomodation the theatre strive to offer. Any essential companions often have to pay full price here as it is the discretion of each visiting company weather to provide this subsidy or not.

    Small but very accessible and welcoming fringe theatre

    The Southwark Playhouse offers both classic and contemporary plays. It has two studios, the Large seating 200 and the Little seating 100. I attended "Wasted" a rock musical about the Brontës in their Large studio. There is also bar/ café.
