King's Head Theatre

Islington

5 upcoming events

King's Head Theatre in Islington is a small performance space that books theatre, comedy, and spoken word. The programming ranges from pantomime to experimental work, with a distinctly irreverent sensibility running throughout. Nothing feels overblown or overly calculated. People who come tend to be curious, searching for something genuinely different, not something already tested and made safe for mass consumption. You don't come expecting universal hits. The programming makes you think about what theatre is, not just consume it. The risk that something might not work is part of what makes it interesting. There's really no guarantee, and that matters.
