The Opening of 'The Law Theatre' by Jude Law

The Law Theatre is located in the college’s second campus on Parkhill Road, Belsize Park, which opened in September. It provides lecture rooms and classrooms as well as spaces for the performing arts, fine art, science, music and music tech and a flexible outdoor space.

The college’s 120-seat auditorium was opened by Jude Law on Saturday 15^th November at a special gala performance of ‘The Watsons’, a play by Laura Wade, with musical performances by College bands and the choir.

“Jude has been a strong supporter of the college since his two sons, Raff and Rudy, attended the college for A-level. He has always been incredibly generous with his time, providing inspiration to our performing arts students and giving enrichment talks to young people interested in following his footsteps onto the stage and in film.”
