Birmingham Repertory Theatre is one of Britain’s leading producing theatre companies. Founded in 1913 by Sir Barry Jackson, Birmingham Repertory Theatre Company rapidly became one of the most famous and exciting theatre companies in the country launching the careers of an array of many great British actors including Laurence Olivier, Ralph Richardson, Edith Evans, Paul Scofield, Derek Jacobi, Elizabeth Spriggs, Albert Finney and many more. In 2013 the company celebrated its centenary.
The theatre’s programme includes many premieres from new versions of the classics to contemporary writing. The commissioning and production of new work lies at the core of The REP’s programme and over the last 15 years the company has produced more than 130 new plays.
Many of The REP’s productions go on to have lives beyond Birmingham transferring to the West End and touring nationally and internationally. Recent transfers and tours include Twelve Angry Men at the Garrick Theatre, Philip Pullman’s I Was A Rat! and Kate Tempest’s Hopelessly Devoted.
The REP’s long-running production of The Snowman recently celebrated its 20th anniversary. It has become a must-see fixture in London’s West End calendar, playing to packed houses at the Peacock Theatre every Christmas for the last 15 years. The Snowman also tours regularly across the UK and to theatres in Holland, Korea, Japan and Finland.
The REP re-opened in Autumn 2013 following a two-and-a-half year refurbishment alongside the new Library of Birmingham. The refurbishment of the theatre includes a new 300-seat studio theatre as well as the restoration of its original façade, plus much improved public and backstage facilities.

THE ENGLISH STAGE COMPANY AT THE ROYAL COURT THEATRE
The Royal Court is the writers’ theatre. It is a leading force in world theatre, finding writers and producing new plays that are original and contemporary. The Royal Court strives to be at the centre of civic, political, domestic and international life, giving writers a home to tackle big ideas and world events and tell great stories.
The Royal Court commissions and develops an extraordinary quantity of new work, reading over 3000 scripts a year and annually producing around 14 world or UK premieres in its two auditoria at Sloane Square in London. Over 200,000 people visit the Royal Court each year and many thousands more see our work elsewhere through transfers to the West End and New York, national and international tours, residencies across London and site-specific work, including recent Theatre Local Seasons in Peckham, King’s Cross and Haggerston.
The Royal Court’s extensive development activity encompasses a diverse range of writers and artists and includes an ongoing programme of writers’ attachments, readings, workshops and playwriting groups. Twenty years of pioneering work around the world means the Royal Court has relationships with writers on every continent.
The Royal Court opens its doors to radical thinking and provocative discussion, and to the unheard voices and free thinkers that, through their writing, change our way of seeing.
“With its groundbreaking premieres and crusading artistic directors, the Royal Court has long enjoyed a reputation as one of our most daring, seat-of-its-pants theatres.” The Times
“The most important theatre in Europe.” New York Times
Within the past sixty years, John Osborne, Arnold Wesker and Howard Brenton have all started their careers at the Court. Many others, including Caryl Churchill, Mark Ravenhill and Sarah Kane have followed. More recently, the theatre has found and fostered new writers such as Polly Stenham, Mike Bartlett, Bola Agbaje, Nick Payne and Rachel De-lahay and produced many iconic plays from Laura Wade’s Posh to Bruce Norris’ Clybourne Park and Jez Butterworth’s Jerusalem. Royal Court plays from every decade are now performed on stage and taught in classrooms across the globe.
