Cardiff's First Pub Theatre

Weekly Update: The Other Room Theatre

Cardiff is a pretty exciting place for performance at the moment. Two major theatres have recently instated new artistic directors, great new companies are producing the best quality work and to top it all off Cardiff will be getting its very first pub theatre very soon.

At a currently secret location in the city centre, The Other Room will become a permanent fixture in the fabric of Cardiff life. Offering a programme of modern classic texts and new work by Welsh or Wales-based writers, the theatre will be a new home for top quality drama.

The first season of work will begin in early 2015 with four performance slots that will feature some of the best British writing from the last 60 years alongside brand new productions. The Other Room is committed to supporting local artists and will also be helping emerging artists to become working practitioners.

The team, headed up by artistic director Kate Wasserberg and executive director Bizzy Day, have already been overwhelmed by the support from local theatre makers and theatre goers. In their recent Kickstarter campaign, The Other Room hoped to raise £2,500 to get the ball rolling on this amazing project. That target was absolutely smashed with the final total being over three times as much!

To say thank you to all the supporters, The Other Room are holding an exclusive venue reveal event later this month. The invites have been sent out but the venue won’t be revealed until the day itself.

Up until the launch I’ll be giving you little updates about what the team are up to and what to expect when the theatre is up and running. So keep your eyes peeled for more info.

In the mean-time head over to:
