Review of Battersea Arts Centre

29 Sep 07, 16:31

Not up its own arts 5*

I love, love, love this place.

It's exactly what you want your local Arts Centre to be - encouraging new ideas, prepared to take a gamble with offbeat things and keen to involve the local community.

There was recent hoo-hah over funding but I think that's all been resolved now and all to the good.Their 'scratch' evenings where producers get the chance to try out unfinished works on a real live audience and get feedback are legendary. I saw Jerry Springer The Opera here before it got all polished and hit the West End and most recently, they've hooked up with theatre company, Punchdrunk for the Mask of the Red Death interactive experience which is just amazing.

Whatever is going on down here it's almost always worth a look.

Likes sushi, rare roast beef with Yorkshire puddings, stinky cheeses, bangers and mash, and any really sour sweets like Haribo Tangfastics, vodka cocktails, Chilean Merlot, and tea with the tea bag left in it so it's properly strong, Man Utd, ink pens, shoes, particularly if they are ridiculously high heeled and brightly coloured
Dislikes stupidity, blind faith, an inability to argue coherently, bananas, hangovers, smugness
Best thing about where I live Almost all my friends live really close by and it's only 20 minutes to central London.
Worst thing about where I live The marauding foxes and squirrels that make all my gardening efforts worthless.
