Drayton Arms Theatre: Pub in Kensington and Chelsea, London

Drayton Arms Theatre in South Kensington is a venue for theatre with a point of view. You'll find a genuine mix of forgotten comedies, classics, and new work that wouldn't fit anywhere else. It's the kind of venue that attracts people who actually want to think when they're watching, not just sit back and absorb. The programming leans toward work that's intelligent and slightly left-field, the stuff that stays with you. South Kensington isn't famous for edgy theatre, which is exactly why this one stands out. The crowd here knows what it's after, and the venue clearly respects that intelligence.
