The Greenwich Playhouse

This is my local theatre 400 yards away and the production I saw was really good, ‘the Duchess of Malfi’. However the venue is not good and rudest bar manager ever. We noticed that as well as a theatre, they also have hostel beds so as we have friends coming soon, perfect place for them to stay in London on the cheap. A simple request of ‘what are your rates?’ was met by ‘look it up on the internet’ and ’ here is the web address’ and he handed me a flyer I had already picked up and then he went back to serving someone else. Second request of have you got a list of plays coming up at your theatre was met with a No. The barmaid then stepped in and said there are no new productions coming there and suggested I try Greenwich Theatre to watch some good theatre. I joked that you don’t recommend your own theatre for some good theatre and she not really, its a bit hit and miss. Honest yes but surely not a way to run or promote your own theatre. Loads left after the performance and I can see why now.
