Southwark Playhouse

The Southwark Playhouse is one of London's more recent theatres, housed in a converted Victorian coffee and tea warehouse. The theatre has gained an excellent reputation for showcasing both modern and classic plays.

The theatres key aim was to generate money and rejuvenate the deprived Southwark area and to support new and innovative actors and directors through publicising their work.

The Playhouse gets involved with a number of local events and runs an education and community programme, which involves a summer school with workshops and liasing with primary and secondary schools.
