The Theatre of Small Convenience, Miniature theatre in Great Malvern, England
Description
The Theatre of Small Convenience is a miniature theatre in Great Malvern housed in a very narrow space. The room stretches about 16 feet long and varies between 6 and 10 feet in width, with just twelve seats total.
History
The space came into being in 1999 when local puppeteer Dennis Neale converted an old Victorian public restroom into a performance venue. The idea to transform this unused room into a theatre created an unusual place for live shows.
Culture
The program features a mix of puppet shows, drama, poetry readings, and small opera productions. Visitors watch artists perform right in front of them as part of a deeply personal experience.
Practical
Because only twelve seats are available, visitors should definitely book in advance. Arriving early helps you get used to the tight space and secure the best view of the stage.
Did you know?
The Guinness Record Book recognizes this place as the world's smallest commercial theatre. The closeness between audience and performers is so tight that every spectator makes direct eye contact with the actors.
