About us
Who we are
Southwark Playhouse exists to be a platform for new and emerging theatre companies and practitioners to showcase their work in London.
In doing so it presents a varied programme of theatre from new writing to reimagined revivals in uniquely flexible and dynamic theatre spaces.
It also exists to engage its local community by offering a range of drama related activities that promote learning and social cohesion.
Over the next year Southwark Playhouse will open new purpose-built venues in Elephant and Castle and London Bridge, expanding the scope of the theatre’s operations.
