About the Theatre
A 40- to 60-seat fringe venue above The Bread & Roses Pub, this intimate and versatile space boasts a wide variety of productions which bring in local and far-reaching audiences alike. Artistic quality and representation of our societies' real diversity are at the heart of the theatre's programming with a focus on new writing, underrepresented voices, distinctive work and the development of new work and opportunities. As well as welcoming visiting companies, the theatre hosts an in-house schedule of its own, producing well received in-house productions and facilitating a range of schemes and events.
More a creative hub than simply a venue, the Bread and Roses Theatre offers many ways for emerging creatives to take to the page or stage. Theatre-makers are offered rich and challenging writing opportunities to involve in and box office split deals with no hidden fees. Thereby providing audiences with a constantly increasing diversity of perspectives, voices and creative approaches.
Contemporary revivals, reinvented classics, devised work, improvisational theatre, comedy events, family shows and physical theatre – this adaptable space can accommodate all.
