What Visitors Say
Watched Jodie Whittaker in 'who doneit'. One of many celebrities who take on a part without having seen the script. Very funny show ,all in aid of the theatres charity. Different celebrity every night. Theatre itself is small so you are close to the actors so the atmosphere is fantastic.
Love this theatre. It's so inviting and inclusive. The staff are always so warm and friendly. Ticket prices are always competitive, and there is a real sense of community, they even have a dementia group. Seen a few plays here, enjoyed them all a lot. I'll travel down from Liverpool to watch plays/events here.
What a wonderful local theatre! We loved Whodunnit, but we also appreciated the message behind this venue—that theatre is for everyone. The actors in Whodunnit were absolutely brilliant, and the entire performance was fantastic from start to finish. It was clever, entertaining, pure comedy and so much fun! If you’re in London, consider supporting this local theatre and checking out their other productions. If I lived here, I know I’d be coming back again and again.
Quite close to Finsbury Park underground station. Staff welcoming. Credit Cards only, sadly. There are two auditoriums; Park 200 (the main area) seats 200. The smaller is Park 90 - seats 90 and the set can change according to the play. Shows seen: 1. Main: Show. 23.5 hours. A play about the affect improper contact between teachers and students, the age of consent and the effects on relationships. A must see play. 2. Main: Cyrano. Many will be familiar with Steve Martin and Daryl Hannah in Roxanne. Essentially the same story must recast and interpreted to a queer and gay focus. I think an unnecessary attention focus. The story as retold didn't need the presentation. Excellent cast and performance. Very worthwhile to see. Do see if you can. 10/10. 3. Park 90: The Jab. An excellent play around the lived experience of a couple facing COVID. 4. Park 90: Outpatient by Harriet Madeley a moving, humorous, tearful and hopeful story of the impact of a life impacting health crisis. A must see. 5. Main: Farewell Mister Haffaman, reflecting the nazi occupation of Paris, will a staff member hide his Jewish boss and what would be the price. An excellent cast including Jennifer Kirby and Micheal Fox and the title Mister Haffman Alex Waldmann. 6. Park 90: One Day When We Were Young follows the intertwined but seperate lives of Violet (Cassie Bradley) and Leonard (Barney White) from the war to the new millennium. Bittersweet, but essential. 7. Main: The Gathered Leaves without giving the game away, is a moving and challenging story of family reunion looking at illness and life conditions across generations. Each cast member from most familiar to new talent, fully in habit their roles leading to a moving and thought provoking performance. One should see it. 8. Park 90: Kindling, a comedy that explores life through the lens of a group of women whose only link is the woman who died. a play of revelation, humour, sadness and hoped for deeper friendship. definitely see. 9. Park 90: Fox is a single handed play about a mother with a newborn baby. And over an hour several days elapse by use of stage lights and the movement in and around the dolls house. A simplistic set of cot, chair, and the dolls house. The writer Katie Louisa Morgan who also performs the paly weaves through the experience of motherhood and earlier loss, the miracle of life and the default setting of babies to bring out protection from others and the potential risks of loneliness whilst the work turns on from the new mother potentially leading to depression and an odd fascination with a homeless man who takes up residence on the front wall. I attended the Bring your Baby performance, which actually enhanced the sense of the play – I think. I would recommend. 10. Park 200. Consumed, the matriarch of the family marks here 90th birthday and the family skeletons join her daughter, grand daughter and great grand daughter to celebrate. An excellent, would see again, like all Park Theatre plays, the current run reunites the original cast which I think helps solidify the family links. Do see. 11. Park 90. he play is a two handed play where, Kellie Shirley & Peter Caulfield play the Landlord and Lady of the pub, The Clock & Compass. They also play a host of regulars. Whilst the couple struggle with personal loss an hurt their customers plot their own daily struggles. An excellent exposition of pub life and an excellent staging that brings the audience into the pub. I saw a preview and worth seeing again.
Wonderful little theater with great entertainment options flowing through. Bar and ticket staff were friendly. They have pizza available while you wait for the show to start. The theater is intimate and laid out well, maybe too well. You are so close to the stage, it almost feels like you shouldn’t be watching. Like some kind of voyeuristic fever dream.
