From the Wikipedia article
The Courtyard is a theatre housed in the former public library (originally known as the Passmore Edwards Free Library) in Pitfield Street in Hoxton, London Borough of Hackney, England. It is a Grade II listed building. The Courtyard operates both a 150-seat main house Theatre and a 216-capacity Live Music Studio. It is also home to the Iambic wine bar. The Courtyard hosted the first London Horror Festival in October/November 2011, a co-production between The Courtyard and Theatre of the Damned, the UK's first festival of horror in the performing arts. The Courtyard benefits from its location in Hoxton/Shoreditch, which is one of London's most exciting creative districts. It is consistently in demand as a venue for emerging artists to present their work. The Courtyard is home to its own theatre company known as Court Theatre Training Company, a drama school that is accredited by Bucks New Uni.
