What is it?
A theatre which lays claim to being England’s oldest university playhouse. It’s also the former stomping ground of Stephen Fry, Emma Thompson, Hugh Laurie and other national treasures.
Is it worth visiting?
Don’t come to the ADC expecting West End-level productions. The shows are mostly cheap and cheerful (and are mainly put on by students), though it’s also a safe space in which up-and-comers test out new ideas – making for much more exciting stuff.
Anything else I need to know?
Tickets can be booked online or at the door and are in the ballpark of £6 to £12. The theatre is wheelchair accessible and has an infrared audio system.
Where’s good to eat nearby?
The shiny new Japanese eatery Kibou has just thrown open its doors around the corner, while the bountiful offerings of King Street – Yippee Noodle Bar, The Locker Cafe, Raja Indian and Your Dumplings – are a five-minute walk away.
