About Arcola Theatre

'A timely reminder of the artistically engaged ethic that has underpinned Arcola Theatre’s astonishing achievement over the past decade.' - Lucy Powell, Time Out 2010

Founded in 2000 by Artistic Director Mehmet Ergen and Executive Producer Leyla Nazli, Arcola Theatre is now one of the most respected arts venues in the UK - blazing a trail in artistic excellence since day-one. Arcola has become well known for the variety of its programming– from new writing to classic drama, music and comedy.

Now located at Dalston Junction, Arcola Theatre is housed in a converted paint factory and is a favourite of established theatre literati as well as young, upwardly mobile innovators.

Our in-house productions are complemented by groundbreaking work in Studio 2 from some of the most exciting young companies in the world. Arcola is much more than an arts venue and runs one of the most extensive multi-cultural community and youth programmes in East London.

‘Arcola Theatre brings the very best of the worlds performing and visual arts to the people of the world living and working in London’ The Guardian
