FRINGE THEATRE
![]() Group Co-ordinator: Chris Bulford (click to contact) |
When Evenings on varying days of the
week. Normally twice a month. Also occasionally meet
for morning coffee in the Park Theatre Cafe to chat
over what we like including things which may be
vaguely related.

Where We go to a range of theatres: there
are of course a fair few in and around Islington,
but we go wider than that as well.

London has more fringe theatres than any other city in the world and Islington has many of them. The fringe theatre group goes to a wide range of fringe plays often but not only in Islington and nearby venues. For example the King's Head, Old Red Lion, Park, Upstairs at the Gatehouse, Southwark Playhouse, Soho, Arcola. We have a wide range of tastes from the classical to the very modern, drama, comedy and cabaret. Because we try to visit three or four times a month there is always plenty of choice. Notice of planned visits is sent out to group members regularly with play details and dates.
The group is very informal. Each member buys their own ticket, usually between £12 and £25, which is incredibly good value, and then just turns up at the theatre. All visits are in the evening and we meet in the bar about half an hour or so before curtain (if there is one)-up and afterwards depending on when the play finishes.
