I found a leaflet on the floor by the station this evening, not sure of its integrity but it sounded very interesting. I shall transcribe:
**Proposed New Theatre Public Consultation**:
Saturday 13th February 2pm-6pm
and Monday 15th February 6pm-8pm
11 Clifton Terrace, Finsbury Park, N4
We plan to convert and extend the office building (previously occupied by Sense) into a new cultural flagship for Finsbury Park - with a 200 seat theatre, a studio theatre half that size, an interval bar and a foyer. It will also contain rehearsal rooms, dressing rooms and a small office.
We aim to bring high quality theatrical entertainment to the area, while also providing young people in the area with the opportunity to develop their confidence and communication skills through participation in drama.
The site is at the heart of the Community Core within Islington Council's proposed Finsbury Park Area Action Plan. We aim to submit a planning application in March 2010.
We would like to show you our latest plans and answer any questions you would like to ask. If you are unable to attend either of these meetings please email jezbond[at]live.co.uk. We will then arrange an alternative time to discuss our plans with you.
To help us assess your views, we will ask you to fill in a short feedback form to tell our development team of your views.

Great to hear the excitiment about our project!
It is more than a little twinkle - and, after much consultation with Islington council, we are soon to submit the full plans for consideration.
If anybody wishes to attend the 'open days' please come to the site and you can chat with us and have a look at all the plans. We would love to hear comments from our local residents.
Many thanks,
Jez

I'm suprised there wasn't a protest over its demolishion.

Wasn't there talk of a theatre complex thing in the Council building in Crouch End too? You wait years for a theatre, and then three/four come along all at once!
An omen, I fear.
