Battersea Arts Centre London: what's on

The old Battersea town hall, gutted by fire in 2015 and rebuilt with the scorched brickwork left visible, which turned out to be the best thing that could have happened to the Grand Hall. The programme is new theatre, much of it made in the building. Expect to be moved around rather than seated for the whole thing.
