Catford Tales

A promenade theatrical event by, for and about the people and places of Catford.

Today’s Catford in South East London is often best known as the place one drives through on the South Circular. But the area was once a thriving hub of music, night life, shopping and civic campaigning. Could Catford be transformed again?

Catford Tales interweaves verbatim testimony from local community members with historical events to celebrate the changing face of Catford.

Initiated by Lewisham Youth Theatre’s Senior performance groups, the play now involves over 60 performers of all ages and includes contributions from local artists, photographers and musicians.

Starting from the historic Broadway Theatre, audiences will follow a dynamic trail of performances around Catford town centre.
