Stan's Cafe

Stan's Cafe

Stan's Cafe (pronEng|ˌstænz ˈkæf) is a theatre company based in Birmingham in the UK. Established in 1991, it has become “one of Britain's major contemporary theatre exports” [Sian Prior, "The Bulletin, Melbourne", October 10th, 2006] with an “international reputation”. [Terry Grimley, “Grains of truth from universal principles”, "Birmingham Post", 13th December 2006] The company is not as well known in its home country as it is internationally [Lyn Gardner, “Playwrights? They're so last year”, "The Guardian", August 8th, 2005] but is regarded by some critics as “one of the UK's most innovative and exciting theatre companies”. [Nicholas Royle, “Black Arts - Roll up! For the lorry ride of a lifetime...”, "Independent On Sunday", 28th November, 2004]
