Theatre Bench produces original musicals, plays, dance and music, by new and emerging British creatives. Nurturing & encouraging new talent in a variety of disciplines, unbound by subject or genre, Theatre Bench has gone from strength to strength.

We produced the inaugural InMotion Festival of Dance at Bunker Theatre in London in 2017, featuring Holly Noble Dance, Casson & Friends, Hack Ballet and Crystal Zillwood. Details of the 2018 festival will be announced early next year.

We produced the world premiere of Craig Adams & Ian Watson’s 'LIFT' at Soho Theatre in February 2013. In 2014 we produced 'Carthage' and 'Thérèse Raquin' at the Finborough Theatre and co-produced acclaimed choreographer Drew McOnie's 'Drunk' at the Bridewell Theatre with the McOnie Company. 'Thérèse Raquin' transferred to the Park Theatre in Finsbury Park later the same year.

We also launched the album 'Rush of Life' by Julie Atherton, featuring new songs written for her by Dougal Irvine, Benedict, George Maguire, Lance Horne and Craig Adams.

Theatre Bench produced the world premiere of 'These Trees are Made of Blood' at Southwark Playhouse in Spring 2015, a political cabaret about the Dirty War in 1970s Argentina. We also co-produced 'Teddy' by Tristan Bernays, with music by Dougal Irvine, also at the Southwark Playhouse and 'Claustrophobia' at The Hope Theatre Islington.

In 2016 we produced 'The Brink' at Orange Tree with W14 Productions, and 'Every Seven Years' at Illuminate Festival. We are producing the 2018 tour of contemporary tap ensemble Old Kent Road with 'Fall Out'.

In addition to mainstream theatre productions we've produced and supported a number of shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, including work by Theatre ad Infinitum, Christina Bianco, The Mac Twins, Jason Hewitt, Sooz Kempner and Alex Gwyther.
