The Golden Goose is a fully air-conditioned, 85-seat theatre and is near Oval Tube close to the heart of Camberwell.  The theatre was founded by Michael Kingsbury in 2020 and exists as a creative hub for artists to make all kinds of theatrical experiences. Since opening, we have hosted multi-Offie-winning company Out Of The Forest Theatre, Fringe-First winner Chris Larner, and a new horror company featuring new work by Olivier award-winning Morgan Lloyd Malcolm & Abi Zakarian. Chewboy Productions' "DJ Bazzer's Year 6 Disco" won an Offie for its run at the Golden Goose in 2021. Founder Michael Kingsbury was awarded ‘Outstanding Contribution To Pub Theatre’ by London Pub Theatre’s.

​

We have so far supported R&Ds from Althea Theatre & Clout Theatre and created new work and development opportunities for several emerging artists including Frumpish Theatre’s all-female new writing festival and the development run of The Life of Olu by Temi Majekodunmi (which transferred to Theatre Peckham in 2021). Our inaugural in-house production of A Rat, A Rat by Chloe Yates (shortlisted for the Women's Prize for Playwriting from Paines Plough & Ellie Keel) won a Standing Ovation Award from London Pub Theatres.

The theatre recently received the runner up award for best pub theatre at the London Pub Theatre Awards
