DOES NOT BORE
DOES NOT LEAVE THE AUDIENCE FEELING STUPID
FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK THEY DON’T LIKE THEATRE
Realism, 2011 Soho Theatre WhatsOnStage Award nominee
“The two parts of our name sum us
up nicely. We are all the things you
associate with Soho, and we make
theatre. Edgy, not-the-mainstream,
and a-bit-slutty-sometimes theatre.”
WHATQUALITY IS OUR MAIN CRITERIA
THE WORK
“If you’re putting on stuff that’s a
regurgitation of a newspaper article
for people who’ve already read it,
and already agree, then nothing
changes – it’s basically an act of
mutual masturbation – very nice but
doesn’t make the world better.”
“We want to make things you’ve never seen before.”
THEATRE COMEDY
CABARET
“We are at our most innovative and distinctive with work at the convergence point of the areas we excel in.”Steve Marmion, Artistic Director

AUDIENCEOur audience is diverse – class, age, sexuality, gender and race.
Their taste is broad – new theatre, to opera, to performance art, to comedy, to cabaret.
They come back to see work they want to see in a place they want to be.
They like an adventure and sometimes they have the most unforgettable nights out.
“You always have new and original and amazing shows for me to see any time of the year. I know I can rely on Soho to always have a beautiful diversity of artists. As a black woman I like to see other black people and women in the spotlight and I appreciate a diversity of sexualities, genders and bodies.” Tunde (audience feedback)
WHO
ARTISTSOur artists are diverse – class, age, sexuality, gender and race.
Their taste is broad – new theatre, to opera, to performance art, to comedy, to cabaret.
They come back to make work they want to make in a place they want to be.
They like an adventure and sometimes they have the most unforgettable nights out.
“Soho Theatre – the best theatre of all time in terms of artist treatment, as far as I am concerned.” Bryony Kimmings
“The initial attraction may
be the bar or a popular
name, but from there
we open up our whole
programme. The bar
is the cigarette to the
heroin of the new work.”
“Artists and audiences collide; they
share feedback in inspiration, and
with the creative lubricant flowing,
collaborate and invent ideas that
could fill our stages in the future.”
