Pub Theaters

I found this article about London pub theatre a while ago and filed it away to take a look at it later. When I finally got around to reading it I discovered that it sounds pretty cool. These pub theaters are just what they sound like, theatre in a pub. The theatre space is usually either upstairs from the pub or in the basement. These are very intimate theatre spaces which is something I love and that you see a lot with nontraditional theaters like these pub theaters. This style of theatre is actually very old and goes back to the middle ages when traveling performers would ask landlords if they could perform on their property. I think it's really cool that a style of presenting theatre like this one has evolved and stayed a relevant and interesting way for audiences to experience theatre from the middle ages to today. If you want to check out the article that I read the link is below.
