Margot is not your average vicar. But then again — who is?
Sit or Kneel is a sharply observed, darkly funny coming-of-age story about identity, expectation, and finding your place in a world that wasn’t built for you. Margot is in her twenties, accidentally ordained, and leading a parish she doesn’t quite understand, while quietly unravelling behind the scenes.
Set in a village full of unsolicited advice and passive-aggressive casserole drops, Sit or Kneel is an ode to rural British life: its charm, its eccentricities, and the quiet pressure to appear perfectly fine at all times. It’s a play that digs into gender, grief, ambition and the bizarre theatre of everyday life — all with wit, warmth, and emotional bite.
Described as “the perfect amalgamation of Fleabag and The Vicar of Dibley”, this is the breakout debut from Mimi Nation-Dixon. After a sold-out, critically acclaimed Fringe run, it’s back — bigger, bolder, and better than ever.
📍 Venue Description: Other Palace Studio is the intimate 120‑seat studio space within The Other Palace complex, dedicated to new musical theatre, new writing, cabaret, comedy, music and work in progress performances. Its flexible L‑shaped layout, often with unreserved seating or light tables, offers a close-up, informal setting. It’s part of a lively tier of programming that complements the main 312‑seat auditorium of The Other Palace while offering a more experimental, audience‑engaged environment. 
### **The history of Other Palace Studio**
The Studio opened in February 2017 as the second performance space of what had been the St. James Theatre and was relaunched as The Other Palace earlier that year under Andrew Lloyd Webber’s ownership. With 120 seats, it was introduced to nurture new musicals and platform early‑stage performances in a cosier environment. Since its acquisition by Bill Kenwright Ltd in October 2021, the venue has maintained its mission of supporting emerging talent and work‑in‑development productions. 
### **Where is the Other Palace Studio** 
The Other Palace Studio is located inside the Other Palace. The theatre is off-West End on 12 Palace Street, Westminster, SW1E 5JA.
### **Nearest tube station to Other Palace Studio**
The closest London Underground station is Victoria, particularly the Cardinal Place exit, which is approximately 350 metres from the venue and offers step‑free access. From there it's a short, level walk along Palace Street to reach the theatre entrance. 
### **Nearest train station to Other Palace Studio**
Victoria railway station serves national rail and suburban services and is effectively adjacent to the theatre. Train users exiting Victoria for the Cardinal Place area can access the theatre via an accessible route and reach the Studio within minutes on foot. 
### **Buses to Other Palace Studio**
Several London bus routes serve the Victoria area near Other Palace, including numbers 16, 38, 52, 73, 82 and 148, with some night services such as N2, N11, N52 and N73 also operating from Victoria Bus Station. Most drop‑off points are within easy walking distance of the theatre and accessible from street level.
### **Other Palace Studio seating plan**
Seating in the Studio is usually general admission, arranged adjacent to a low platform stage in an L‑shaped configuration with movable chairs, banquettes or stools depending on the production. There are no fixed, numbered seats, and the layout often changes to suit performance requirements. Views are typically excellent from anywhere in the compact space, though early arrival is recommended to choose ideal vantage points. 
### **Other Palace Studio accessibility**
The Studio provides step‑free access from the main foyer via a lift, and space for two wheelchairs on the Studio floor level, where patrons may either remain in their chair or transfer to a venue seat. There are no fixed wheelchair spaces, but flexible seating allows suitable configuration. Accessible toilets are available via the lift, and assistance dogs are welcome. Staff can support visually impaired visitors, though the Studio does not currently offer an infrared hearing loop system (available only in the Main House). 
### **Other Palace Studio safety policy**
Patrons are asked to comply with standard safety protocols, including luggage or bag inspections and no photography or recording during performances. If productions include strobe lights, loud sound effects, smoke or pyrotechnics, advance content warnings are communicated and staff are happy to advise in advance. In general, disruptive behaviour may lead to removal, and latecomers may only be admitted at suitable moments in the show. 
### **Other Palace Studio dress code**
There is no formal dress code for the Studio or Main House. Most visitors arrive in everyday or smart-casual attire, reflecting the relaxed, unfussy nature of the space. The atmosphere is informal and friendly, focussing attention on the performance rather than appearance.
