The Phyllis Maud Performance Space is a Grade II listed former public toilet in Newport, South Wales.

[2] In September 2017, the former public toilet on Alexandra Road was sold at auction for £31,500 to a bidder who planned to turn the building into a cafe.

[3] However, the successful bidder then pulled out, and Janet Martin subsequently purchased the building from the council for £15,000.

[4][5] In June 2018 the local council approved plans to convert the space into a 25-seat theatre, which they considered would be a positive addition to an area "in need of both physical and social regeneration".

Janet Martin decided to name the venue after her late aunt.
