AIR THEATRE, REGENT'S PARK
Theatre, comedy and cinema
London has enjoyed a reputation for quality theatre since the time of
Shakespeare and still provides platforms for innovation and new writing. The
West End is the heart of London's “Theatreland”, with Shaftesbury Avenue its
main drag; the less mainstream, “off-West End” theatres, and the smaller,
edgier places on the fringe are often more interesting. The capital's comedy
scene remains lively, too, whether you want to keep things low-key in an
intimate neighbourhood pub or pay top dollar for high-profile shows with
huge audiences. As for film, the city abounds in offbeat little clubs screening
obscure, classic and cult movies, along of course, with scores of multiplexes
and trendy chains where you can sip wine and snuggle up on velvet sofas in
front of the silver screen.
