FringeGuru's review of this venue

Based at Adam House on Chambers Street, five minutes' walk from both the Royal Mile and Bristo Square, the headquarters of the ever-expanding C venues chain is known simply as C. This impressive venue occupies all five floors of the mock-Georgian building, which - for all its columns and carvings - is little more than 50 years old.

C's four theatres were all created (more or less) equal: there are no tiny cellars or cramped attics here. What's more, despite a varied and often adventurous programme, C seems to have the knack of picking winners to fill them. It all adds up to a safe, reliable place to see a show, whatever your particular choice of genre.

The performance spaces

The four performance spaces in C are stacked on top of each other, and numbered according to the floor they occupy. Down in the basement, C-1 is a proper theatre, with arch, curtain and bronzes on the walls; you're in trouble if a tall person sits in front of you, but otherwise it's a great place to watch a show.

The ground floor is filled by the bar. C+1 and C+2 on the two floors above are large, plain performance spaces, with black cloth drapes around all the walls ensuring there are no distractions from what's on stage; both spaces have raked seating, so every seat has a good view.

Up top at C+3, things are a little different - the largest of C's theatres, the seats are arranged in a horseshoe around three sides of the stage. Performers in C+3 will have designed their show to work in that space, but those sitting at the extremities of the horseshoe are still likely to find themselves watching some of the action from behind. It's best not to arrive at the last moment to pick a seat for this one.
