Background
History
The theatre began in a disused skittle alley in the basement of the Freemason's Arms, Hampstead, in August 1968. It moved to an open-air site and also to the Haverstock Arms before moving to The Horseshoe in October 1971. It was founded to present poets reading their work in an informal theatrical pub setting.
