Here is the first view of the Wanstead Curtain, a performance space the Wanstead Fringe has crafted to become a stunning venue for theatre and cinema.
The Curtain is a reinvention of the hall at Wanstead Methodist Church on Hermon Hill. It’s been familiar to generations of Wanstead folk, whether through Beavers, junior church, youth club, nursery, ballet lessons or countless other events. Now that legacy will continue.
The church ceased holding services at the site a couple of years ago and the Curtain is the result of a vision shared between the church’s minister, Mike Long, and the Fringe to make something really useful and enduring for Wanstead.
So with much hard work in the past few months, the hall has taken on a completely new vibe, and will be hosting its first events this week as the Fringe gets under way.
Indoor film screenings from the Wanstead Kinema are first, followed by three plays – Richard II, Global Voices and Miss Julie.
Tickets for the landmark screenings at the Curtain are available now – use these links below or get tickets directly from the Wanstead Fringe site.
Very exciting to have a new space for performance and film like this. Looking forward to supporting the events here!
