Venue Review

Venue review body This is one of the best theatres in London. Concrete and modern, but there is a wonderful sense of intimacy between actors and audience which tends to be lacking in the National Theatres, for instance. All the seats are quite close to the stage and have uniformly great views.

Unfortunately, many people find the geography of the Barbican complex difficult - lengthy walks through concrete canyons are required from either Moorgate or Barbican tube stations. The lobbies seem to undergo perpetual redesign in an effort to make things easier, but this only makes things more confusing. There are loads of eating facilities available in the centre and masses of lobby space to mill around in, but all seem to be fairly corporate in nature.
