Theatre : Where to get Cheap theatre tickets in London
It’s not all about the West end! If you want a great theatrical experience in London that isn’t the pre-packaged musicals that come straight from Broadway (hardly a change of scenery for American tourists), then you might want to consider the other exciting London venues.
I’ll start with my very favorite, the first theatre I visited as a student in London:
The BAC, also known as the Battersea Arts Centre.
Its on Lavendar Hill, and you can get there by train stopping at Clapham Junction station, or by tube stopping either at Clapham Common or Stockwell. The tickets are between 5 and 10 pounds (10 to 20 dollars). Many physical theatre companies have started out there and come again for every new show. The strong point of the BAC is definitely its poetical slant on physical theatre, bordering between mime, dance, and straight acting. The atmosphere is also very friendly, and there are some great festivals throughout the year.
