Come reminisce on your teenage years. Weren’t they shit?

BATS Theatre is a intimate venue located in the Royal Antediluvian Order of Buffaloes building at 1 Kent Terrace. The venue itself has had a long and varied life, starting originally in the 1930s as The Savage Club, a dance hall and venue for amateur theatre. From the late 60s until 1975 Unity Theatre was in residence, a society with a tradition of left-wing political affiliations and a penchant for work by obscure European dramatists. Unity had a strong core membership which went on and contributed to the growth and success of Downstage and Circa theatres.
