Upstairs at The Gatehouse is a small pub theatre in Highgate in the London Borough of Camden.
The venue is a refurbished 1895 auditorium, upstairs from the Gatehouse pub, that has served over the years as a music hall, cinema, Masonic lodge, and a jazz and folk music club that once hosted a performance by Paul Simon.[1] Today, the venue hosts theatrical and cabaret productions.[2] It has presented a mix of off-beat and mainstream shows, including an all-female version of Hamlet,[3] modernistic interpretation of opera classics[4] and new musicals and dramas.[5][6]
In 2012 they staged a sellout run of Guys and Dolls as well as a new stageplay Iceberg - Right Ahead! to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the maiden voyage of RMS Titanic.
In July 2013 a revival of Noël Coward's 1956 satirical comedy Nude with Violin had a three-week run staged by the Logos Theatre Company.
Upstairs at the Gatehouse is run by Ovation Theatres Limited, whose two directors John and Katie Plews have served for over twenty years. The Gatehouse pub is a Wetherspoon property.
