Finborough Theatre, Studio theatre in West Brompton, London, England
The Finborough Theatre occupies a restored building designed by architect George Godwin, featuring an intimate performance space near Earl's Court station. The room combines 19th-century architecture with modern facilities for diverse theatrical productions.
The theatre opened on June 24, 1980, and established itself as a platform for emerging playwrights and overlooked classic productions. Its founding came at a time when small independent venues were growing in importance across London.
The theatre showcases contemporary plays, rediscovered works, and international productions with particular attention to Ukrainian writers. This programming choice reflects a commitment to supporting voices that receive less attention elsewhere.
Performances run Tuesday through Saturday evenings, fitting with opening hours in the surrounding area. The location is easily accessible by public transport and sits in a lively neighborhood with restaurants and cafes.
The theatre operates simultaneously as a charitable organization, using its space to support artists through interviews and discussions. This model enables more direct relationships between audiences, directors, and performers that rarely develop in commercial venues.
