The Spread Eagle Theatre is a 50-seat capacity studio theatre situated in the heart of Croydon town centre in London, ten minutes walk from East Croydon station and the Overground tube line at West Croydon station. Opening in October 2013 in response to the closure of The Warehouse Theatre in 2012, the Spread Eagle set about transforming its upstairs function room into Croydon's newest studio theatre space.
The Spread Eagle Theatre successfully supported and hosted the campaign to Save the David Lean, the nearby art house cinema which has now reopened.
The theatre works closely with its sister venue (The Old Joint Stock Theatre, Birmingham) on co-productions with professional theatre companies. Both venues champion 'big plays for small spaces' with an emphasis on supporting new writing.
