Southwark’s theatrical heritage started over 400 years ago. Shakespeare and Marlowe both performed their works first in Southwark playhouses. The theatres were closed by Parliament in 1642 and eventually demolished. Theatre in Southwark continues with performances in traditional theatre and at special venues.
