Stratford East: Politics and Theatre

Stratford East: Politics and Theatre

Telling stories that are current, political and representative of our community is an integral part of our work at Stratford East. From Joan Littlewood’s legendary Theatre Workshop Company to Nadia Fall’s tenure as Artistic Director, political theatre is woven into the fabric of the building. We believe that theatre is inherently political (often without audiences realising!), and we are proud to have staged groundbreaking work from writers including Brendan Behan, Shelagh Delaney, Tunde Ikoli, Patrick Prior and Barrie Keefe. Join us for an insightful look into Stratford East's history exploring how politics and theatre connect and help us understand the world around us.  

Hosted by comedian Mark Thomas with a panel including Amy Leach.

Supported by the National Heritage Lottery Fund 

Booking Enquiries
Our online booking system doesn’t allow customers to leave isolated seats. We do this in order to prevent gaps in the auditorium.

Currently seats are on sale from Row B in the stalls, and it is possible that Row A will go on sale at a later date, so please be aware that purchasing seats in Row B does not guarantee that you will be in the front row.

Please note that our boxes have a slightly restricted view. Seats marked with an ‘i’ on the seating plan have a restricted view.

If you require any help with your booking then please contact our Box Office by emailing tickets@stratfordeast.com or calling 020 8534 0310.
