TSTS/Theatre Scout/London

About

There are two theatre scenes in London. One has billboards. The other is where the interesting work happens.

This site is about the second one.

70 venues — pub theatres, fringe spaces, arches under railway lines, converted warehouses — putting on hundreds of shows a week. Tickets usually £10–£25 instead of £80+. Programming that’s bolder, weirder, more current, more willing to take risks.

Yes, the quality is variable. At these prices, that’s a feature. You get to take a punt. A flop is a story. A hit is a discovery you found before anyone else did.
