The Spread Eagle Theatre, Studio theatre in Croydon, England
The Spread Eagle Theatre is a studio theatre in Croydon housed in the upper floor of a pub building. The performance space accommodates around 50 spectators in an intimate setting.
The venue opened in 2013 as a response to the closure of the Warehouse Theatre in the previous year. A former function room was converted into a performance space to restore live theatre to the city.
The theatre presents work by new writers and provides a stage for both local and visiting artists to develop innovative productions. It serves the community as a venue where experimental theatre and emerging artistic voices can flourish.
The theatre sits at 39-41 Katharine Street in Croydon and has a bar on site where visitors can purchase refreshments before and after performances. The compact space is easy to navigate and creates an informal setting for the theatre experience.
The theatre partnered with the Old Joint Stock Theatre in Birmingham to create productions specifically designed for small performance spaces. This collaboration allowed the development of works that harness and enhance the intimacy of compact venues.
