History


St. Monica's Church Hall was built in 1931, and the actor John Clements turned the building into the Intimate Theatre in 1935.[1] It became a full-time professional repertory theatre in 1937.[2]


After he was demobbed, Roger Moore was a member of the repertory company, and earned about £10 per week.[3] In the late 1940s, the BBC televised 14 plays from the theatre.


During the 1960s, the repertory company put on a new play each week,[4] although Max Rietmann's Hot and Cold in all Rooms played to a capacity audience for three weeks in 1962.[5]


In March 1968, David Bowie acted the role of Cloud in Lindsay Kemp's Pierrot In Turquoise at the theatre.[6]


In August 1968 Richard Todd starred in Man with a Load of Mischief with Dilys Laye.[7]


In 1969, the building reverted for a short time to its use as a church hall before returning to its use as a theatre.[8]


In 1987, the usage as a theatre was reduced to allow the church to hold other events.[9]



Current use


It has a current capacity of 435 Today (2012) the theatre is used by Protos Theatre & Arts Group, The London Pantomimers, [10] Acorn Theatre Company, [11]Saint Monica's Players, [12] and other amateur drama groups. It is located on Green Lanes.[2]
