Theatre History

The Southwark Playhouse Theatre Company was founded in 1993 by Juliet Alderdice and Tom Wilson, to produce high quality accessible theatre, and act as a major resource for the local community.

The first Southwark Playhouse theatre was a disused workshop at 62 Southwark Bridge Road, before they upped sticks in 2006 and ventured to the vaults beneath Platform One of London Bridge railway station, which was their home from 2007 to 2013.

Since 2013 the Southwark Playhouse has been based between Elephant and Castle and Borough – at 77-85 Newington Causeway. In 2022 the venue was renamed Southwark Playhouse Borough.

The Southwark Playhouse plans to move to a permanent home, and is currently raising money. The flagship home would be in Elephant and Castle, with a satellite venue back within the arches of London Bridge Station.

The new venue on Newington Butts is called Southwark Playhouse Elephant.

The planned London Bridge space, on the site of the former Southwark Playhouse on the corner of Tooley Street and Bermondsey Street, will be two flexible performance spaces of 200 and 150 seats, used to nurture and promote work by new and emerging practitioners. Plus there will be a rehearsal space.
