Scenes from the last refurb:
Huge thanks to everyone who helped out |
The Tabard Theatre opened
in 1985 and built a strong reputation for new writing,
something which continues to this day. However, the theatre
now hosts all kinds of live entertainment from experimental
work to Shakespeare and enjoys the support of a loyal local
audience and, thanks to its location, visitors from all over
London. Since 2005 the theatre has been undergoing regular renovation work with the aim of becoming on of London's best equipped and accommodating studio theatres for artists and audiences alike. The most significant phase of this renovation has just been completed and the theatre is about to embark on one of the most exciting periods in its twenty year history. The Theatre is situated above the Tabard Pub, a popular and welcoming local landmark. BeerInTheEvening.com says: "Built in 1880 by the architect Norman Shaw. The Tabard is unique, with Arts and Crafts tiles by William de Morgan covering the upper walls. These tiles are such a fine example of the movement's style that their counterparts are held by the British Museum. Further tiles, by the artist Walter Crane, in an avant-garde style that would eventually become Art Nouveau, are on display around the fireplaces in the pub and theatre. Friendly atmosphere, well kept real ales and great food."
