Putney Arts Theatre, a delightful local theatre for adults and children, is hosting their summer drama festival!
‘Nine gripping plays will take you on a journey through extremes of love, loyalty, desperation, and defiance, in a nine-day celebration of theatre. This festival will present plays which show just how far someone will go… to fight, to protect, to risk everything, or even save the world.’
The festival runs from 17 July until 26 July.
There will be a full line-up on the two Saturdays and Sundays, as well as weekday evening performances Mon-Fri.
Address: Putney Arts Theatre, Ravenna Road, Putney, SW15 6AW

Putney Arts Theatre is an inclusive performance venue, providing creative & supportive theatrical opportunities for young people and adults, an inspiring space for its resident companies, a welcoming atmosphere for guest performers, and high quality involving entertainment for the local community.
Originally, in 1959, Maurice Copus, a teacher at Southfields School, who recognised that a number of his enthusiastic pupils needed a local theatre group, founded an after-school theatre club. Early venues included Battersea Town Hall, now Battersea Arts Centre, then it moved to Wandsworth Town Hall and in January 1968 the group moved to the old Union Church in Putney.
The building of Putney Arts Theatre stands in the original building of the Old Union Church, built in 1860 by Sir Samuel Morton Peto, whose other building works included the Reform Club and Nelson’s Column.
