Exchange Theatre 🇫🇷🇲🇺/🇬🇧Bilingual Theatre in London
🇪🇺Cultural organisation creating bridges between cultures

Since 2006 ,Exchange Theatre, a bilingual theatre organisation translating and producing unknown new international productions, revisited foreign classic translations in English and sensory experiences for audiences. From 2012, we have also been developing ambitious multilingual plays to critical acclaim, and from 2016, we devised shows exploring in particular the decolonization of representations. Strong of a portfolio of over 30 professional shows and as many community showcases, Exchange Theatre is now followed by a multicultural and diverse audience and co-produces migrants shows with their London Bridge space, The Trap.

Echange Theatre or Exchange Theatre, is an international company which started in 2006 in London to translate and produce unknown or rare French-speaking plays in English. With the use of a strong visual imagery, live music and multilingualism, Exchange Theatre's productions offer a true sensorial experience. Led by David Furlong and F***y Dulin, the company translated for the first time plays from major French playwrights like Paul Claudel, Georges Feydeau and Xavier Durringer (London and off Broadway) before being resident at the French Institute from 2010 to 2012. Since then, we produce ambitious double productions off west end (the shows are both shown in English and French). Beside the professional company, Echange Theatre created the first amateur drama class in French for French speaking people living in London. We work from our studio space in London Bridge (available for hire) at the heart of London. Visit our website: www.exchangetheatre.com

★★★★ THE UPCOMING
"Empty is a devastating but essential piece of theatre which needs to be seen by as many people as possible."

Another 4 stars just after closing :)

In 2023, author and journalist Robert Nurden published the book I Always Wanted to Be a Dad: Men without Children, a personal account of “unwanted childlessness”, alongside testimonies from other men. It’s a subject rarely, if ever, explored in theatre, and particularly unusual from a male per...

★★★★

"David Furlong's direction is skilful and sensitive, creating moments of connection between the two characters, only to dissolve them as each returns to the loop of their individual plight. The result is a haunting sense of isolation. Amy, played by Hannah Douglas is intent on venting her rage and despair. This is a commanding performance, oozing disappointment, angst and fragility. Paul Kemp plays David, who is equally powerful in his contained, pared-back sorrow."

We dedicate the 2026 festival,
opening tomorrow, to the memory of Chantal Chamroeun.

Chantal touched the lives of everyone fortunate enough to know her. A mother, wife, and friend of great kindness, she is deeply missed.

We wish to celebrate the beautiful life she lived and the indelible mark she left on each of us. We were lucky to have Chantal as a student during the early years of the Workshop. She was gentle, extremely intelligent, and truly brought extraordinary characters to life in: Descente en Grumberg (2008)
Les existentialistes (2009)
Le Fil à la patte (2010)
Le Deuil sied à Électre (2011)
La Nuit des Rois (2012)

We shared many laughs, and she never turned down a good joke—whether on stage or off. She will remain in our hearts forever.
