‘It feels great to be in a space that is exactly what I wanted it to be’
By Freya Parr, Thursday May 6, 2021
In recent years, the top end of Gloucester Road has become a destination in its own right.
With Fed 303, Cave and the new Pinkmans pop-up, there are now plenty of spots to get a coffee or a glass of wine on a weekend. And now, a bookshop has joined their midst.
“Can my daughter please get a Saturday job here?”, one customer begs as I enter Gloucester Road Books on a busy Saturday.

The upcoming season, later than Shea s plan to re-open in September, makes RLTP the first local theater to announce a full season, albeit with 4 plays instead of the usual 5. Behrend says that this will give RLTP the ability to extend each play s run, should future regulations limit attendance on any given evening.
As with all theaters, it s financially necessary to achieve 100% of planned ticket sales. Hopefully that will mean 100% of the audience seats will be filled on any given night, but if 100% of necessary ticket sales have to be spread out over more time, the organization can handle that.
