The Bread and Roses Theatre

The in-house Bread & Roses Theatre Company (BRTC) began running writing nights for new short plays in 2012. Hosted in what was initially nothing more than the upstairs function room at The Bread & Roses Pub, these first regular theatre performances gained attention from other companies hoping to put up scratch performances and showcases.

The idea of creating a permanent pub theatre at the venue was born, and after some major refurbishments - all sponsored by the fabulous Bread & Roses Pub - the theatre was then officially launched in November 2014.

With up to 60 seats, the space is intimate and versatile - accommodating contemporary revivals, reinvented classics, devised work, improvisational theatre, comedy events, family shows and physical theatre.

More a creative hub than simply a venue, the Bread and Roses Theatre offers many ways for emerging creatives to take to the page or stage. Theatre-makers are offered rich and challenging writing opportunities and box office split deals with no hidden fees, thereby providing audiences with a constantly increasing diversity of perspectives, voices and creative approaches.
