About Theatre Next Door

Coventry’s community centres have joined forces to bring high quality performances to communities across Coventry throughout our year as UK City of Culture. Theatre Next Door will see local community centres programming exciting interactive shows both online and in person at their centres, bringing all the excitement of professional theatre to your neighbourhood.

What is Pay What You Wish?

Pay what you wish means that you’re in control of how much you pay for your ticket. We'll give suggested amounts and show what most people pay, you choose which price you wish to pay. Tickets must be paid for in advance.

This event is part of #LoveCoventry, a Coventry UK City of Culture 2021 programme funded by the National Lottery Community Fund.

Theatre Next Door: The Time Machine


Irene the Inventor is lost in space and her time machine is ticking her off. Every second counts, so can you help her in her hour of need? But watch out, once she clocks you, she will whisk you off to a Victorian school room, a Roman invasion and even take you as far back as the time of the dinosaurs. So, hold onto your pants because this is an adventure not to be missed.

Brand new family theatre full of music, zany characters, and lots of interaction.
