Greenwich Theatre has a long history of producing high quality theatre in Greenwich, on tour and in the West End. In recent years the theatre has turned its focus to working with exciting emerging talents such as As Told By and has presented work in London and around the UK, at festivals in Edinburgh, Brighton and Dublin, and internationally in Madrid and New York.
