Company information, aims and production history

Foxglove Theatre is dedicated to creating and performing diverse, challenging theatre for both audience and actor, focusing on current social and cultural discussions along with reviving classics and showcasing new writing. Aiming to introduce audiences to as many different forms of theatre as possible, Foxglove never produces the same style of performance twice in a row. Alongside classical, modern and contemporary theatre, we have a specific desire to educate audiences about current social, political and cultural issues through new writing, performance and discussion.

• We are all inclusive; we include anyone and everyone who wants to be involved in theatre, regardless of experience, so long as they show talent, ambition and passion for the creative arts.

• We are dedicated to educating and nurturing the growth of new talent with our work. We hope to manifest this in taking our productions to schools and leading workshops and Q&A sessions with the students. We are currently discussing visiting schools in the Balham area at a similar time to the run of A Little Princess at Theatre N16 in July – although voluntary, any money we do receive from the schools will be implemented into the company to help with sponsorship, production costs and outreach programmes.

• We perform whenever and wherever we can. Along with the initial production of A Little Princess at Theatre N16, Balham in July to fundraise for the Fringe, we will also be performing the show in a four-day tour of the Isle of Wight in late July, including historic venues. We’re extremely proud to have been given to opportunity to perform at N16 and to have able to secure a run at a reputable and respected London Fringe Venue. Below I have attached links to Theatre N16 in the press just to give you a little more insight into what they do.

• We guarantee a consistently excellent standard of acting. Current associate artists have gained places at drama school and/or are training alongside their studies, whilst almost all of our prospective cast members are either part of the National Youth Theatre, drama school students or professional actors.
