The date

Metro Studio is Victoria's black-box wild card, a flexible 162-seat room run by Intrepid Theatre where one season swings from touring contemporary dance to spoken word to film. Time your visit to the summer Victoria Fringe Festival, when it becomes three short, strange, wonderful shows in one night for roughly the price of a movie. Walk in not knowing what happens, and treat that as the point.

How to do it

Check what's on at this flexible 162-seat black box and buy ahead for the buzzy nights; the bill swings from touring theatre and dance to spoken word and comedy. Time it to the summer Victoria Fringe and you can catch three short, strange, wonderful shows in one night for the price of a movie, the ultimate cure for date-night indecision. Treat the unknown as a feature; half the fun is having no idea what you're walking into.
