Ovalhouse
Ovalhouse, formerly called Oval House Theatre, is an off-West End theatre in the London Borough of Lambeth. The roots of Ovalhouse can be traced back to the 1930s and its foundations, as Christ Church (Oxford) Clubs, by the graduates of Christ Church, Oxford. The club underwent a radical change of policy in the 1960s when the focus changed from sports to drama. Ovalhouse has two theatre spaces. The Theatre Downstairs is a black box studio with semi-permanent rake seating and seating for 98. The Theatre Upstairs is an intimate black box studio with a capacity of 50 end on and 68 thrust. It is smaller than the Theatre Downstairs, measuring H: 2.44m, W: 6.35m and D: 5.76m. There is also a cafe-bar, gallery space and rehearsal rooms available for public hire. Since 2011, the cafe-bar has also been used as a venue for live-music and spoken word events.
