The award-winning team behind London's King’s Cross Theatre is to open a new performance venue in Wembley Park this autumn.
To be named Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre, the building, which will take the site of the former Fountain Studios, will have a flexible 1,000- to 2,000-seat theatre which can be configured with a traditional proscenium arch theatre, in-the-round theatrical, or for immersive shows.
Troubadour Theatres will also run the new theatre working with well-known and emerging theatre makers offering an affordable performance space.
The building will include a modern bar, a restaurant and an open air terrace.
Tristan Baker and Oliver Royds of Troubadour Theatres said, “we are delighted to be creating a state-of-the-art theatre in Wembley Park, in the heart of one of Europe’s largest regeneration areas.
"Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre will be a modern venue for modern audiences: comfortable seating, increased leg room, a spacious and welcoming bar, a seasonal and innovative restaurant. And for theatre makers, we offer a flexible, dynamic and exciting performance space which can be designed around the shows.
"We see theatre audiences increasing year on year and we are excited, once again, to break the mould of traditional theatres and bring new innovative spaces to audiences and producers alike.”
Wembley Park is being seen as a new cultural hub for London as, in addition to the theatre, the redevelopment provides 27 'affordable' artist studios.
