The Courtyard

Really nice theatre, lovely welcoming staff and a pretty cool bar with the sofas and all. All very intimate.

Im going to give it three stars mostly cause Im still not sure what to think of this place.
Was walking by one night with my local friend who had passed by this place with its gaggle of smokers out the door and never had the nerve to go in alone. So down the stairs we went.
There’s a bar and café-​ish space and there’s a main stage area and there are some offices in the back area with a photocopier that I copied my face in. But you needed to put in a password to complete the copying job so someone was probably surprised the next monday morning.
There was, I think, a student showcase going on. Some chavy shiny red and blonde looking chubby eminem was rapping on the stage with random scenes of war? going on a screen behind him. Some half naked, girl wrapped in plastic and balloons or something was dancing next to us.
I had to stop someone next to me to ask what the hell was going on. Turns out the guy had art hanging up in the bar area himself.
We were propositioned while in the bar and I saw the dealer again in the stage area. The art guy I was interviewing said that that guy shows up all the time.
So art gallery performance venue. Just look up what’s going on before you go there. Or hell just show up like we did if you’re up to be confused.
