The Bridge House Theatre...

Our Theatre


The Bridge House Theatre was founded in 2013 by Rachel Tucker and Guy Retallack and continued under their stewardship until 2019.

Management of the theatre was taken over by Luke Adamson and Joseph Lindoe (& Dusty) in early 2021 and, after a refurbishment of the space, reopened to the public in the September of that year.

The new team’s vision was that of a professional Off West End venue with a year round offering of visiting productions complemented by a number of in-house shows.

The new team instilled a commitment in supporting the work of underrepresented voices and championing local creative talent.
"such an amazing theatre filled with the most supportive, wonderful people"

Our Performance Space

Our 50 seat black box theatre is configured in a thrust layout with a playing space of approximately 4.5m wide by 3.5m deep. 

Our seating is comfortable flip up seats so no numb bums here!

The space is intimate yet not small and provides a wonderfully immersive atmosphere.

We look forward to welcoming you soon!

Our Pricing Structure

Our ticket pricing structure is a little different to what you may be used to. Instead of offering ‘Full Price’ and ‘Concession’ tickets we offer a ‘Standard’ ticket price with the options to pay more if you can afford it or pay less if you can’t.
Those of us with a larger amount of disposable income may be able to buy a ticket at the higher rate, meaning that those of us struggling with lower income or a particularly lean month can still come and see the show without having to worry if they qualify for a concession.
As a completely unfunded venue our ticket sales are our primary source of income so we ask that you think honestly and genuinely about what you can afford rather than just going for the cheapest option. This type of scheme has been piloted at other venues and has actually seen ticket revenue increase, it also makes the work more accessible to all areas of society.

"I am yet to encounter another theatre who welcome artists which such open arms and who are so committed to supporting their work" - Elizabeth Huskisson, Toska & Where Have All Our Women Gone? 2023
