About the Garden Suburb Theatre

enobarbus

With more than a century of history, the Garden Suburb Theatre is a forum for anyone who is passionate about the theatre.

Please have a look around our website and if you find anything that interests you then we’d love to hear from you – or find us on Facebook or even follow @GdnSubTheatre on Twitter

We have no requirements for membership other than a desire to join us in promoting and celebrating live theatre the best way we know how; by putting on shows.

There is no audition to join or even an expectation that you will have to act; we also nurture directors, musicians, costumiers, designers, set-builders, lighting and sound engineers, stage crew, even humble web designers.

Jeeves 

Jeeves & the Song of Songs

enobarbus

by P G Wodehouse, adapted for the stage by Francis Beckett

Performances: Thursday 11th to Saturday 13th April at the King Alfred’s Phoenix Theatre, Golders Green, NW11 7HY

Tuppy Glossop has dropped Bertie Wooster’s cousin Angela to pursue a romance with operatic diva Cora Bellinger. Ordered by his Aunt Dahlia to break up them up, Bertie finds himself called upon, in a plan orchestrated by Jeeves, to sing at a charity concert. A brand-new adaptation of the P G Wodehouse story.

Audience 

Audience by Michael Frayn

enobarbus

An audience enters a theatre and start to watch the play. We don’t know what the play is but we do see them do what audiences do: comment on the action, chat to each other, get frustrated with each other, sit in the wrong seats, spot other people they know, fall in love…
Performances: Thursday 11th to Saturday 13th April at the King Alfred’s Phoenix Theatre, Golders Green, NW11 7HY

J. M. Barrie originally cast Dorothea Baird to play both Captain Hook and Mrs Darling. However, Gerald du Maurier, who playing Mr Darling, persuaded Barrie to let him play the part. Talk about male privilege!
