The Tricycle Theatre is located in the Kilburn district of north London. It is a publicly subsidised performing arts venue which specialises in new work with political themes, including plays by Irish, African-Caribbean, Jewish and Asian writers, reflecting the mix of communities in the area.
The Tricycle Theatre was founded in 1980, and rebuilt after being destroyed by a fire in 1987. The complex has been expanded several times and now comprises a 230 seat theatre, a 300 seat cinema, a large rehearsal studio, a visual arts studio for educational use (the Paint Box), a smaller theatre/workshop space (the James Baldwin Studio), a workshop room (the Creative Space), a cafe-bar and an art gallery.
