Brixton’s swanky new community theatre opened in 2022
Finally opening its door in 2022 after various pandemic-related delays, Brixton House is effectively the reincarnation of beloved community arts centre Ovalhouse, but in a brand new building and with an appropriately geographically updated name change. Boasting two theatres, seven rehearsal rooms and a bar/café, it’s a modern building, with a programme – steered by artistic director Gbolahan Obisesan – that focusses on international and marginalised voices.
A young boy dies and is trapped in limbo in this drama about racism, oppression and being working class from Tobi King Bakare, seen last year as part of Brixton House’s Housemates festival. Directed by Ozioma Ihesiene, ‘Before I Go’ features a live drummer.
