The New End Theatre has just celebrated 35 years as an independent arts venue and has seen the likes of Judi Dench, Steven Berkoff and many others at all stages of their professional careers.
1997 saw Pluto Productions take up residence at the former mortuary with the objective of presenting the best in new writing with occasional classic revival. These have included The Dead Monkey starring David Soul which transferred to the West End, and Brief Candle starring Denis Quilley. There have been some wonderful musicals including a revival of Sondheim’s Assassins, Sylvia Freeman’s world première of The Legendary Golem, and the international film director, Ken Russell making his theatrical directorial debut with Weill & Lenya. Two plays produced at the New End have transferred to the West End. These were The Dead Monkey and Personals.
A few of our many recent successes include: Last Song Of The Nightingale with Tracie Bennet, benchmark with Jerry Hall, Lady Day At Emerson’s Bar & Grill with Dawn Hope, And All The Children Cried with Sharon Maughan, Take A Chance On Me an all–star cast which included Helen Lederer and Joe McGann, and the off–Broadway transfer Edge starring Angelica Torn.
The New End Theatre registered in England as a company limited by guarantee no. 3296703 and as a charity no. 1062498. Registered office: 27 New End, London NW3 1JD.
Olivia Lichtenstein is the third novelist in the first series of 'Meet the Author' - a new literary initiative which has so far included Susie Boyt and Cosmo Landesman. Dame Margaret Drabble will read from her novel 'The Pattern in the Carpet' later this month.
Acclaimed film-maker Lichtenstein's latest novel is 'Things Your Mother Never Told You' - a rich and sharply observed account of the problematic mother-daughter relationship, the challenges of modern metro living and the dark secrets of a parent's past on the future of their offspring. The author will be in conversation with literature teacher and specialist Eileen Christopher in what promises to be a stimulating, informative and often humorous event.
