Riding Lights Theatre Company
- Riding Lights Theatre Company
Riding Lights is a British independent theatre company who have been touring shows nationally and internationally since 1977. Based at Friargate Theatre, York since 2000, the company has staged numerous original productions such as "Science Friction" and "Dick Turpin", that have toured nationally. Other recent tours have included "Mistero Buffo" (2005), "The Winter's Tale" (2006) and a co-production with York Theatre Royal, "African Snow" played at York and the Trafalgar Studios in London before touring across the country. The play was a contribution to the national commemorations of the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the UK and took as its theme the stories of John Newton and Olaudah Equiano. In 2007 they toured a play looking at the Christian community of contemporary Bethlehem called "Salaam Bethlehem". In 2008 they will revive their production of Jerome K Jerome's "Three Men in a Boat" as a co-production with York Theatre Royal.
The company has a thriving Youth Theatre which has performed many well-received productions, including "Headstrong" and "The Miracle" as part of the BT Shell Connections National Theatre Competition, "Free For All" (a devised production) and a modern production of "Julius Caesar".
