The Theatre of Small Convenience
In Great Malvern's Edith Walk stands one of the world's most intriguing theatres.
Transformed from an old Victorian Gentleman's lavatory, the Theatre of Small Convenience is the smallest theatre in the world (building), in the Guinness Book of Records 2002. The founder is Dennis Neale, a keen puppeteer and drama enthusiast. He continues to run the theatre as an independent and non profit-making project.
A charming venue, upon entering, one feels like having stepped through a magic door. A quaint interior marked by an Italian - commedia dell'arte - theatrical style. It has an audience capacity that seats up to a dozen and an unconventional stage. On the walls, paintings of summer skies, blue seas and wild greenery add depth and drama to the place.
The theatre opened in November 1999 and has had performances both professional & amateur of drama, puppetry, poetry, story-telling, music and monologues, and even a day of opera! If you have an interest in the theatre, whether it be for performance or as an audience, we invite you to phone at (01684) 568 933 or drop an email to wctheatre@yahoo.com
