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.

Peter Pan fun facts #2: Captain Hook should be a woman.

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!
