Time Out says

It’s a wonderful thing to see this artfully reimagined venue live on after it opened with the site-specific theatrical thriller experience Darkness in February 2023. Featuring a 150-seat performance space Upstairs and an intimate bar Downstairs, the former Newtown School of Arts Library building has been transformed into a lost world overflowing with curious objects by designer Isabel Hudson (The Mousetrap, American Psycho, Cry-Baby).

The bar – along with the passageways and bathrooms – is kitted out like the vintage store of your dust-speckled fantasies. Bookshelves are stacked with an artful jumbling of leatherbacks and knick-knacks, apothecary bottles and taxidermied creatures. Vacant eyes follow you from oil paintings and porcelain dolls dotted around the venue.

Produced and managed by Newtheatricals, this exciting venue is dedicated to supporting artists across music, comedy and theatre, and everything in between. This includes every type of performance, gatherings, rehearsals, readings, auditions, photoshoots – and special events!
