The Hope Theatre is a place for theatre-makers and audiences to explore big ideas. We love telling stories that are dramatic, surprising, and have something to say about the world we live in now. Although The Hope Theatre receives no regular public subsidy, we were the first Off-West End venue to open with a house agreement with Equity, the UK’s largest performers union, to ensure a legal wage for all actors, stage managers and box office staff. The Hope Theatre has transferred two productions to the West End (Ushers to the Charing Cross Theatre and the Snoo Wilson's Lovesong Of The Electric Bear to the Arts Theatre) and has been home to many world premieres. It also housed the professional world premiere of Joe Orton’s Fred And Madge. The current Artistic Director is Phil Bartlett. For more information about our history, current programme, and how to get involved visit www.thehopetheatre.com.
