Theatre to open under Manchester Central station

53two will open its second railway arch theatre under Manchester Central, having closed the first earlier this year. The 6000 square foot venue will seat 150 people, with a standing capacity of 350 and a members' bar for performers' post-show drinks. Artistic Director Simon Naylor said the organisation "can’t wait to become a part of the new Watson Street community that is set to bring a new focus on the arts and nightlife".
