★★★★★ "A spanking new five-star neighbourhood theatre." Independent

Park Theatre is the brainchild of Artistic Director, Jez Bond, and Creative Director, Melli Marie, who - following a six year London-wide search for a building - discovered a vacant office block next to Finsbury Park station in 2010. Garnering support from the theatre community at large - including luminaries such as Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman, the press and, importantly, local residents - they set out to raise the necessary funds to convert the tired concrete building into a thriving new theatre and beacon for the community. At a cost of just £2.6 million, the building, designed by David Hughes Architects, opened in May 2013 to rave reviews from the critics.
