    A Heartwarming Experience at Kim's Convenience, Park Theatre, Finsbury Park! Just saw a performance of "Kim's Convenience" at Park Theatre in Finsbury Park, and it was truly a heartwarming experience. The play, explores the dynamics of a Korean-Canadian family running a convenience store, offering a delightful mix of humor and poignant moments. The cast's touching performances brought the characters to life. There is humour and very touching moments adding drama to the narrative and drawing the audience into the Kim family's world. Park Theatre's intimate setting definitely enhanced the overall experience, allowing for a close connection with the characters, More importantly I love this seating arrangement so much, and no human head is in anyone's way. The set design was truly impressive and stunning, creating a believable convenience store backdrop that added to the play's realism and sheer excitement! I loved it and wanted to go down and stack the shelves and explore the shop. The lighting and sound was fantastic!! "Kim's Convenience" succeeds in delivering a universal message about love, acceptance, and the importance of understanding one another. In conclusion, "Kim's Convenience" at Park Theatre in Finsbury Park is a must-see for those seeking a well-crafted, emotionally resonant theatrical experience. The talented cast, thoughtful storytelling, and intimate venue combine to make it an unforgettable evening of entertainment. Please go watch it and support this beautiful modern relaxed theatre.

    Excellent small size theatre where you can see all the show details. The creativity within the show is mind-blowing by using simple stage tools, not complex but informative. The actor and actress were top class where they let out the emotion easily based on story and quickly retract it in the next scene. What a night spent here. I would look out for more live stage show. I watched Garden of Words in August 2023.

    A fantastic little theatre. We went to see The Time Machine as we've seen all the other Mischief plays. (I know this wasn't Mischief) The play was hilarious and the interaction with the audience was great. We had a pizza before the show which is cooked fresh on the ground floor. Make sure you look up at the ceiling when in the upper bar.

    Went and watched “the shape of things” and it was a wonderful and cosy experience. Lots of drinks to choose from, meals available on preorder, and enjoyed the play so much. I wish there was more waiting space outside where people didn’t blow smoke in my face; but it is what it is.

    The play The Way Old Friends Do was great. The theatre is very small and although the view from the back row of the 2 rowed circle is clear, there is not enough space to let people get through without everyone leaving the row to let them through.

    Great local theatre in Finsbury Park. There is a good bar area where you can get lots of drinks and pizzas on order before or after you watch your show. The theatre is quite small, and the seating is a bit cramped, but it has a really nice art house feel to it and would definitely come back here to see productions in the future.

    Saw an excellent play here, Ikaria. The two actors really carried the play well. The venue was decent for the production level. The are had a good selection of drinks and bites. The place is also conveniently located a few blocks away from an Underground stop — which is great for tourists like me. Overall, I would go again for these indie productions.

    Great theatre, and good value for money. Their pizzas as also incredible. Just make sure you get there early before they've sold them all. We went to see Leaves of Glass, 5/5

    Beautiful little theatre with a bar and pizza oven on the ground floor and a bar and bigger seating area upstairs. Relatively new theatre. Crampt when busy and the theatre we were in didn't have the most comfy seating but it was a nice experience. Not much leg room on the bench seating. The staff were lovely. Definitely, I would go again.

    A lovely, interesting building. Staff were generally nice and pleasant. Leg room quite limited in a lot of the seating, but not a huge surprise for somewhere like this. Intimate setting for shows makes for a really great experience, highly recommended!

    The Time Machine was absolutely fantastic. 3 actors who were all brilliant. We laughed so much. Audience participation was hilarious. The theatre is perfect, every seat has a good view and you feel close to the stage. The whole setting felt intimate and friendly. We would love to visit again the next time we have a London day trip

    Very small theatre, very up close and personal to the performances. Reasonable prices. The pizza is great too!

    Cute little theatre, small but it means you’re really up close to the action! Nice bar area too and pretty comfortable seats.

    I watched Kim's Convenience with my family, it was funny and identical to the TV show. The theatre is small and cosy. There's a bar and pizza you can order in the entrance/foyer and also a bar upstairs.

    Absolutely amazing performance of 'Leaves of Glass', today. What a truly powerful play. All 4 actors were utterly brilliant. Great to see Joseph Potter again, still remember him in 'Poltergeist', at the Arcola last year. Fabulous venue, such a great time out! 😁

    One of the best theatres imaginable. Small but not cramped, with two levels of gallery, and seats are allocated spaces on comfy benches. The stage is relatively small, at knee level for the bottom gallery, yet the actors still make it feel bountiful. The front of house is beautifully decorated, with affordable drinks and food, and a pizza oven! The whole place is very immersive, and caters to comfort very well.

    Small theater very close to stage and actors. I saw The Interview. Lots of restaurants nearby.

    Great venue! Great show “Heading Straight Towards Us.”

    We have seen so many great plays here and will continue to come. Some have been thought provoking, some pure entertainment, but always the effort has been honest and respectful to the audience.

    We enjoyed our trip to The Park theatre for a matinee performance. Nice atmosphere and helpful staff. Well thought out space and enjoyed the play as well. Didn't eat at the restaurant but the pizza looked good. The interval was very brief, so definitely order drinks before the performance starts.

    We love The Park Theatre, and catch performances as often as we can. We were really looking forward to seeing “Kim’s Convenience”, having been avid fans of the Netflix series. We were not disappointed, the writing and character development are perfect, and the story centred around the complexities of family, is spot on. Laugh, and ponder on the sub story, above all have a great time.

    The play Garden of Words was very interesting. I saw anime first, so I was able to follow the plot, but for other people, it might have been a bit confusing. Comfortable seating, but you have to be very careful on gallery, there is a step that is not very well visible, several people almost fell over.
