The theatre was established as part of the redevelopment of Battersea Power Station.[1] The inaugural artistic director is Paul Taylor-Mills, who was previously artistic director of Andrew Lloyd Webber's The Other Palace theatre.
The theatre has seating capacity of 94.[2][3] It is located within railway arches under the Grosvenor Bridge.[4]
The opening production was Harvey Fierstein's Torch Song Trilogy[5] featuring Matthew Needham as Arnold,[6] followed by High Fidelity, set in London as in Nick Hornby's original novel.[7][8]
Other notable productions include My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?), Eugenius! and But I'm a Cheerleader.
In October 2024, Taylor-Mills announced that due to a shifting theatre landscape and various economic pressures, the Turbine Theatre would close at the culmination of the theatre's 2024-25 Christmas season.[9]
