Written by Berri George Directed by Adam Dattis
Two teenagers. One ‘born ‘n’ bred’ Newham. The other fled the ravages of a Civil War. They don’t know each other…yet. But in the night-time cityscape playground of train yards and tube depots, they escape their troubled and isolated lives spray painting London colourful.
... Set in the early 2000s, SHADOW KINGDOMS tells the story of an unlikely partnership forged between two strangers, who discover a shared passion for train graffiti writing.
Featuring an electronic soundtrack and dynamic movement, SHADOW KINGDOMS by Berri George (BBC Hot Talent List and BBC Drama Room 2017), was nominated as runner-up in the 2017 Mercury Playwriting Award.

Went to Theatre 503 at christmas with friends and kids to see Scrooge Panto and it was excellent. Such a friendly small neighbourhood theatre and will definitely be back there for drinks and a nibble at the pub and enjoy the theatre too. Thanks guys for a great experience!

We went to see Scrouge and 7 Dwarves! Was absolutely fantastic we all loved it! Funniest thing we've seen in ages.

I was super surprised this gem of a theatre existed :-)

This play is raw. When you leave, you're a little shell-shocked. It takes you from clever comedic one liners between two bitter people locking horns over whose to blame for the relationships breakdown, right into an emotionally charged drama, as we discover the answers to Cate's questions about why her marriage with John is ending, while, Tony, the would-be buyer, is doing all he can to seemingly manipulate Cate and John into getting what he wants, the house. Hayley acts as a great comic relief as the 'clueless doll' on Tony's arm. You are, however, left really wondering whether Hayley was all that clue less or whether she is, in many ways, as sinister as her partner.

The best fringe Theatre in London by far! Never seen a bad show there. Tiny stage and cozy auditorium makes it even more special. The magic of theatre at its best. Plus the pub downstairs is fantastic too. The food is tasty and service very good. The whole place deserves 5 out of 5! Love this place!

Talent on the doorstep. Splendid. Thanks. Cosy,intimate theatre. Love it!

Scrooge and the Seven Dwarves was a hit with our family. From the outset you would not think a lovely theatre was hidden inside. It was a surprise and the staff were really friendly. There was something for every age group and the audience participation was great especially the two youngsters in the front row; budding actors in the making.

My daughters are 6 and 8 and they have not stopped talking about and singing the songs from Scrooge (helped by the CD we bought, some of us still have CD players). They have asked me to book to see another Sleeping Trees show. Great local venue with delicious lunch before the performance.

Me and my 7 year old daughter went to see scrooge and the seven dwarfs it was one of the funniest things I've seen in ages. Having said I brought my 7 year old I would also recommend to it to people without children there is lots of adult humour that will go over the head of young children's head. Such a wonderful little theatre with friendly production and staff would give it 6 stars if I could.

Loved the show! Best panto out there! Third year in attendance and looking forward to next year already.

Love it! The best way to spend quality time with friends and family! Amazing plays and environment! Super cool!

It was our first visit to this theatre on Saturday 16th September. What an amazing performance of HYEM. Very well written and extremely well performed. All the cast were fantastic and bounced off each other perfectly. Charlie Hardwick and Patrick Driver were outstanding. This was well worth a visit in a lovely little theatre, we will definately be back. Thank you to everyone for making it a lovely day. Definately 5 out of 5.

In "In event of Moone disaster" had its own " In event of lighting disaster" a lighting issue, but it made no difference, the acting was great, the directing added real sadness and humour. Great value, great theatre

I enjoyed my time at theatre 503 but something very strange happened to me while I was waiting for a seat. A man came over, looked at me, like up and down, then bent over as if to sit down but instead reached into his coat pocket and pulled out a small toy clown. Now I'm not the type of person to be shocked, or to swear, but what he did next took me by complete fucking surprise. He started talking to the clown, addressing him as his son and stroking his hair. He then asked me if I was scared and being a person who is not easily scared I said no. Then as suddenly as he had appeared he got up and left. How exciting I thought to myself, my heart was beating fast and I was slightly out of breath. We've now got a date for our marriage which is set for next year and we've started our own puppetry theatre company which will soon go on tour so a big thank you to Theatre 503 for making this all happen for me!

Great local theatre with really inspirational new plays

Friends, I cannot recommend this show highly enough. Our entire family went and we were all in absolute stitches the entire time. Playing until Jan 7th and hands down my favourite Panto yet!

First time for me. Loved the theatre and thought Hyem was bloody marvellous. Would recommend you to go and see it �

Fantastic theatre with lovely staff. Seen some really good plays there. Looking forward to my next visit. Highly recommend this super and very welcoming theatre. Also has excellent air conditioning.

Excellent play at an excellent venue. Really enjoyed the experience as this was my first time with Theatre 503. Highly recommend this cosy little venue.

Another Five star visit to Theatre 503, I hear animals is going to be amazing! I’ll tell you what else is amazing, and worthwhile combining a visit with is the comedy ‘Not Just Rob Gotobed But Also Tony Knight’ at The Leicester Square Theatre, London on May 23rd 2015 - it’s a GREAT Comedy and a great way to unwind! Even Prince William & Kate are fans!



“From the moment you enter the theatre you are taken on a comedic journey of absurdity. So sit back, relax and I will guarantee that not only will you laugh out loud, you will fall off your chair laughing out loud … Yes, the humor of classic British Monty Python Comedy is alive and well in the form of Rob Gotobed & Tony Knight” F. Kathleen Foley, The Los Angeles Times.
