King's Head Theatre Club

3360

One of the first pub theatres in London situated in Islington’s historic nineteenth century King’s Head. The theatre, in the large back room of the pub, was founded in 1970 by American producer Dan Crawford and sees a wide variety of work. Seating is usually cabaret-style.

A pub theatre of an almost primitive kind, its work has regularly attracted the attention of national newspaper critics.
