Griffin Theatre Company — Local services in Sydney

What a wonderful and intimate little theatre with seating virtually on the stage, not for those who fear catching the actors eyes! As far as I could see no seat was a bad seat but he aware they are bench seats (with backs) so on a busy night you could be cramped together and it might feel rather tight, not an issue for us the night we went. The stage is upstairs and I didn't see a lift so that could be an issue for people with mobility issues. Not much seating in the bar area so most people has to stand whilst having drinks, our play didn't have an interval so it was only an issue for before the show. Seats are not allocated so if you want to sit somewhere in particular you need to get in to the space fast. But as I say it looks like all seats are good so, for me, that wouldn't be an issue at all. Drinks at the bar were reasonably priced with wine and beer, and if you put them into plastic glasses you can take them in to the theatre with you. They sell a very limited amount of sweets, snakes I saw, and crisps. Annoyingly they allow crisps into the theater and some people munched during the performance, why would any theatre allow this as its very off putting for the audience and actors? That was my only grumble as in all other ways it was a total pleasure. As I am UK based I shan't get many opportunities to go but if I am ever in the area again I will book another night out with them. Great show,...

A great little theatre has a variety of shows. It's great to see Australian made work having such support and promotion within our community. The seating sits about 105 semi-thrust, semi- in-the-round staging. Shows are general admission so I would advise that stand near the theatre door to get a good seat. I've been to a few shows where they have 'oversold' the production and asked patrons to squish up. A small inconvenience to pay for quality Australian made work. However, it's something to keep in mind. There's also a good selection at the bar and...

Great Australian plays by new and emerging playwrights. Lots of late night eateries nearby for before and after the theatre. Easy public transport access from Kings Cross Station. We saw “UFO” which had an amazing set with marionettes echoing the actors movement and voices - it was side splitting funny - delving into theatre of the absurd. By buying 3-4 play subscriptions tickets come out at $35 each. If you are interested in theatre and modern performance Griffin Theatre is right for your...
