WHAT the Dickens? The UK’s first professional shop front theatre is opening in Coventry in time for Christmas.

Coventry’s Theatre Absolute are making themselves at home at the well-known former fish and chip shop, Fishy Moores, in the heart of the city.

The 40-seat theatre at 38 City Arcade will be welcoming its first audience on Thursday.

The award-winning company will be based at the shop for 18 months with support from Coventry City Council and the Arts Council England Empty Spaces initiative.
