Description:

Theatre 503 is located over the Latchmere Pub in Battersea.  It is a good sized theatre that seats about 80.   Recently updated the Latchmere has been updated with a new flexible auditorium.

Most recently known as the Grace Theatre, this theatre has gone through a number of management and artistic changes that have resulted in it having inconsistent production and often having nothing playing.

This appears to have changed with the recent take over of the theatre by Artistic Director, Paul Higgins.  It is now being run by five close knit directors who plan to focus on new writing, new directors and up and coming comedians.  There are now lots of shows and comedians playing on a regular basis for either short or long runs.

Theatre 503's new mission is: 

"Our aim at Theatre 503 is to create a theatre which provides a venue for new playwrights, comedians and directors to develop their shows. We want to be a stepping-stone between fringe theatre and the big theatres, with a working relationship with television commissioners and producers, literary managers of established theatres and literary agents. We aim to assist in the nurturing process of new talent."

Theatre 503 now has their own web site at http://www.theatre503.com
