About

The Space

The Drama Factory is an intimate theatre space which aims to provide quality entertainment to suit a wide variety of tastes.  As well as showcasing mainstream productions we provide creatives with a workshop to manufacture performances. We endeavour to provide an affordable and professional space for productions to bring their creative ideas to life and present high-quality entertainment to our audiences.  From music to theatre to poetry and more, there is something for everyone.

The Drama Factory is licensed to sell alcohol and soft drinks, hot beverages and sweets are on sale.  All we ask is that you come and relax in this informal, intimate space. We are solar-powered with a full inverter system in place so if load-shedding strikes…the show will go on!

Looking to put on a show? Please read about how we work and apply here.
