Shepherd's Bush old library: the Bush Theatre's new home, already the base of a scripts libraryJohn Hunter/RULER/Bush Theatre
London’s world-famous experimental pub-theatre has secured its future with a move into Shepherd’s Bush old library. Church and council permission were given yesterday for conversion of the library (owned by the Church of England) to be ready for curtain-up in 2011 when the lease on the Bush’s space in O’Neill’s pub, Shepherd’s Bush Green, expires.
