🎊New Venue Alert!🔔 🌟11 New Studios - on sale now Our new Theatre Deli studios in Crossharbour are available now to book from 15th June onwards. We have 11 new studios at our Crossharbour location (5 Greenwich View Place, London E14 9NN). Over the last year this space has been used for our programme The Allotment, in partnership with @newdiorama . Since then we’ve been busy preparing the space to accommodate these new Deli studios for regular bookings. Crossharbour DLR station is just 15 mins on the train from Bank. The studios there are comfortable and with lots of natural light. It’s not the first time Theatre Deli has had a venue on the Isle of Dogs - we were based there 2016-2017. We have other spaces in the pipeline and expect to announce more Theatre Deli creative hubs very soon! 🥳

🎙️An Evening of Afrocentric Poetry with @themanwithmanyfaces is an immersive blend of rhythm, language, and storytelling. 🎶 ✏️Fusing Yoruba and English, Great Kolawole delivers powerful poetic narratives accompanied by live melodies. 🎨Each performance creates a rich soundscape where words and music move as one, drawing the audience into moments of reflection, emotion, and connection. 🥁This is more than a poetry reading, it is a living, breathing experience of culture, voice, and rhythm. 📍107 Leadenhall Street 🗓️16th May 7-9.30pm 🎟️£18 🔗Link to book in bio
