Right in the heart of Soho is this independent, purpose-built theatre and writers' centre, where you can experience the best of new, young writing. The Soho Theatre Company, resident at the Cockpit Theatre until 1995, spent three years transforming this former synagogue into the model of modernity 200-seat theatre/centre/restaurant it is today. One of the more popular events is the 'Four Plays: Four Weeks' season of new writing, whereby each play is rehearsed for one week before being performed for one week. The theatre also presents a magical annual showcase of plays by 11 year olds from Westminster schools, and a run of late night comedy throughout the summer. Adjacent, the Soho theatre bar merges with the cool, crisp Café Lazeez brasserie, serving Indian fusion dishes and bar bites, with a more formal 100-seat restaurant downstairs and Gordon's terrace bar above.
