Lyric Hammersmith claims it provides a range of facilities ‘to meet the needs of all the individuals who use our building’
Lavatory users are ‘confronted with five urinals’ they must pass to get to a single locking cubicle
The Lyric Hammersmith has been criticised for leaving female theatregoers “uncomfortable” with their gender-inclusive lavatories which feature five urinals and one cubicle.
The London theatre claims that it provides a range of facilities “to meet the needs of all the individuals who use our building”.
However, Joan Smith, a journalist, author and member of the Sex Matters Advisory Group, claims she was left feeling “incredibly uncomfortable” after using the theatre’s “all gender” lavatory.
The women’s rights campaigner visited the theatre on Tuesday evening to watch Accidental Death of an Anarchist. However, during the interval, she did not have time to find a gender-specific lavatory and so “reluctantly” used an “all-gender” one behind the main bar.
