O'Reilly Theatre

Introduction

The O’Reilly is one of Oxford’s newest theatres opening in October of 2002. It is a 181 capacity theatre which performs up to four student productions every term. It has been excellently technically equipped with options for video projection as well as extensive lighting and sound equipment available to productions. We aim to offer a high quality diverse season each student term and wish to encourage any applications for hiring the theatre space in the future.
