About Us King’s Head Theatre is an Off-West End theatre in Islington that celebrates the LGBTQ+ community, onstage and off. As well as platforming LGBTQ+ theatre, we programme a wide range of plays and musicals, alongside a cabaret programme including drag and comedy. Established in 1970, the old King’s Head Theatre was the longest-running pub theatre in London. The venue operated for 53 years, housed in the back room of the King’s Head Pub on Upper Street. After many successful years, the theatre closed its door on 13th August 2023, ready to move to its new home. The new King’s Head Theatre was opened on the 5th January 2024, under the leadership of current Executive Producer Sofi Berenger; the opening show was Exhibitionists, written by Olivier-Award winning writer Sean McKenna. In our first year, the theatre also worked with artists such as Heartstopper's Cormac Hyde-Corrin, Ella Vaday (Nick Collier), Jonathan Maitland, Luke Bayer, Neil Ashton and Rob Madge.
