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 my 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.
