Soho Poly

London’s leading Fringe theatre venue

Radical venue Soho Poly pioneered “lunchtime theatre”, aiming to remove the elitism of the arts by making it more inclusive and accessible. From the 70s onwards, it has been a vital platform for presenting the work of underrepresented playwrights and actors, particularly to women, people from ethnic minority backgrounds, and the LGBTQIA+ community.

Independent Venue Week events at Soho Poly include Stories From The She-Punks: Screening, Performance and Q&A (Wednesday 31st January) and James And Jude Cook In Her Room “Songs And Fragments” (Friday 2nd February).
