In
2010, London Classic Theatre celebrated ten years on tour. We launched as a touring company
in April 2000, our
production of
David Mamet's
Oleanna
opening in the
130-seat studio at Harrow Arts Centre.
It has been a
fascinating journey.
Since
that first appearance, we have performed to over 300,000
people at more than 150 theatres and arts centres around
the UK and Ireland. Our
aim, expressed in the original mission statement, has
always been to produce challenging, accessible drama for
audiences in London and the regions. To offer our work
to
venues of all scales and sizes, from arts centres and
studio spaces to No. 1 and repertory theatres. To build
and maintain relationships with these venues, and most
importantly, to produce theatre of the highest
quality. At the very start, we had no contacts in
the regions at all. We have never received any funding or
sponsorship for our work. Often we have pulled through a given
year, or production, literally by the skin of our teeth. But
year by year, things have progressed and the number of the
venues booking our work has increased.
As well as presenting a range of popular,
modern classic drama with productions such as
Look Back in
Anger,
Entertaining Mr
Sloane
and
Abigail's Party,
we have staged new translations of two 18th Century comedies, The Game of
Love and Chance
and The
Double Inconstancy
by Marivaux.
We have also been delighted to produce two UK premières, Hugh
Leonard's
Love in the Title
and Joanna Murray-Smith's
Nightfall.
In 2011, our Modern Takes season of classic European
drama featured Patrick Marber's After Miss Julie and
Ibsen's Ghosts in a new version by Frank McGuinness.
Our tenth anniversary was a significant
milestone, an opportunity to look back on past achievements. It
was also a time to appreciate the continued support of the
theatres who book us and the work of the many talented,
committed individuals who have contributed to the adventure. As
we look to the future with enthusiasm and confidence, without
question, the biggest thanks of all should go to our audience,
many of whom have supported us loyally through the last decade
and certainly without whom we would not have come this far. We
look forward to seeing you in 2012 and beyond.
