Arcola Theatre

Arcola Theatre produces daring, high-quality theatre in London and beyond. 

We commission and premiere exciting, original works alongside rare gems of world drama and bold new productions of classics. We work with creatives from across the globe, acting as a platform for emerging and established artists, providing them space to grow, explore and refine their craft. Our socially engaged programme champions diversity, challenges the status quo, and stages trailblazing productions for everyone. Grimeborn, our annual summer opera festival, sees a selection of new interpretations and forgotten operas – all in an intimate, up close setting.

Arcola has won awards including the UK Theatre Award for Promotion of Diversity, The Stage Award for Sustainability, the Off West End Award for Special Achievement, and the Peter Brook Empty Space Award.
