‘When two brilliant egoists marry… there is bound to be trouble’
In fashionable 1920s Belgravia, Sheila, a talented novelist, and Keld, an aspiring playwright, embark on married life. Both are fiercely ambitious, but when Keld’s career takes off and Sheila’s doesn’t, professional jealousy and an affair have a devastating effect on their marriage.
Startlingly moving, but full of customary sparkling wit and dark humour, Noël Coward’s first play is given a stylish period revival for its centenary year. The Rat Trap is lovingly revised by Bill Rosenfield and presented by Troupe, who return to Park Theatre after its critically acclaimed production of The Forsyte Saga Parts 1 and 2.

📍 Venue Description: The **Park Theatre** is one of London’s most dynamic Off-West End venues, known for bold programming, fresh writing, and a strong community spirit. Since opening in 2013, it has become a vital creative hub in Finsbury Park, presenting a mix of new plays, revivals, and international work across its two intimate spaces.
With a strong focus on accessibility, affordability, and artistic excellence, Park Theatre champions emerging talent and underrepresented voices — earning a reputation as one of London’s most important smaller theatres.
### **The history of the Park Theatre**
Opened in 2013, Park Theatre was founded by artistic director Jez Bond and actor Andy Nyman. Built from a converted office block just moments from Finsbury Park Station, the venue was developed with a clear mission: to bring high-quality theatre to the local community while supporting new voices in the industry.
With support from high-profile patrons including Ian McKellen and Alan Rickman, Park Theatre quickly rose to prominence. It now houses two performance spaces — Park200, a 200-seat main theatre, and Park90, a flexible studio space — and has premiered numerous acclaimed productions, many of which have transferred to the West End and beyond.
### **Where is The Park Theatre?**
Park Theatre is located just a stone’s throw from Finsbury Park Station, at Clifton Terrace, N4, in North London. Nestled in a quiet street just off the bustling Stroud Green Road, the theatre is surrounded by lively cafés, pubs, and restaurants.
### **The Park Theatre nearest tube station**
The nearest station is **Finsbury Park** (Victoria and Piccadilly Lines), less than a 2-minute walk away. Use the Wells Terrace exit to reach the theatre quickly.
### **The Park Theatre nearest train station**
**Finsbury Park Station** also serves National Rail routes, including Great Northern and Thameslink services, providing easy access from across London and beyond.

A number of bus routes serve the Finsbury Park area:
Day routes: 4, 19, 29, 153, 210, 253, 254, W3, W7
Night buses: N19, N29, N253

### **The Park Theatre seating plan**
Park Theatre’s main space, Park200, is an intimate auditorium seating up to 200 people. Its steeply raked seating ensures excellent views from every seat, with a thrust stage that brings audiences closer to the action.
The Park90 studio is a flexible, smaller venue that can be configured in multiple ways, hosting more experimental or up-close performances.
### **The Park Theatre accessibility**
Park Theatre is fully accessible, with step-free access, wheelchair spaces, accessible toilets, and an infrared hearing system. Assistance dogs are welcome, and staff are on hand to assist guests with additional access needs.
### **The Park Theatre safety policy**
