About London Theatre Company
London Theatre Company is a new theatre producing company founded by Nicholas Hytner and Nick Starr, with an emphasis on the production of new work. It is a commercial venture, backed by a small group of senior venture capital investors. Our intention is to create a culture, ethos and economic model that supports writers, directors, designers and actors to work at scale in a space that is complementary to those of the subsidised theatre and West End.
About the Bridge Theatre
The Bridge is London Theatre Company’s first new theatre, and the first wholly new commercial theatre of scale to be built in London for 80 years. It has a stunning riverside location on the south bank of the Thames, right by Tower Bridge and five minutes’ walk from the transport hub of London Bridge station. It is designed by Haworth Tompkins, winners of the 2014 RIBA Stirling Prize for Liverpool’s Everyman Theatre. It has 900+ seats and can be configured in end-stage, thrust and promenade formats. The Bridge opened for the first time in October 2017, with Young Marx, a new play by Richard Bean and Clive Coleman, and is now showing an immersive staging of Julius Caesar.
