The Red Room Theatre Company

The Red Room Theatre Company is one of the most high profile London theatre companies.

It was founded in 1995 by [http://www.sohotheatre.com/p28.html Lisa Goldman] as a voluntary organisation, and became regularly funded by Arts Council England in 2002 and then achieved charitable status in 2006 (charity number [http://www.charitycommission.gov.uk/registeredcharities/showcharity.asp?regno=1110724&submit=Run+Search 1110724] ). The Red Room believes theatre should be a truly public art form.

The Red Room has a track record of over ten years of award-winning productions and is a radical voice of new theatre and film in London, creating groundbreaking collaborations between writers, artists and communities to provoke and influence wider social debate.

In addition to its high quality, innovative productions, the Red Room has involved itself in the past in debates and activism around culture and politics, such as Going Public (2003), a debate at the Tricycle Theatre about theatre as a public art form with contributions from the RSC, Cardboard Citizens and Outside Edge. The Red Room also initiated the network [http://www.artistsagainstthewar.org.uk/ Artists Against the War] (2003), exhibiting art work and supporting anti-war artists with events including Palestine Verbatim in Trafalgar Square and Shock and Awe cabaret.

Of over 20 productions the most recent works are: Hoxton Story, Snake Park, [http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0413772934 Stitching] , Animal, and The Bogus Woman.
