London Theatre Group Shunt Announces 1-year Residency Extension
The award-winning, London-based theatre group Shunt has announced they will extend their residency below the London Bridge station, Whatsonstage.com is reporting. The company will remain at their current location for at least one more year. The company had expected to leave the venue due to renovation work that was to be done on the station.
The company released a statement saying, "Shunt are very pleased to announce that due to the immense support from Network Rail, Thameslink, Turner and Townsend, Mace and Southwark Council we are able to remain in our current location under London Bridge Station for another year."
"It's definitely one of the most fantastic spaces in London and to be able to programme such an incredible space, which has become very popular, is fantastic," Shunt co-founder David Rosenberg said in an interview with WhatsOnStage.com.
Shunt is a collective of 10 artists creating large-scale performance events in unexpected, abandoned or derelict buildings throughout London. Their current home is a sprawling labyrinth of railway arches under London bridge station: a bonded wine vault for the last 100 years - now an independent republic with diplomatic immunity and a vast private army.
