The Long Lane Theatre Company was formed in 2014 to produce new writing that inspires and entertains.
Founded by Andrew and Eve Pearson-Wright, husband and wife they met appearing in the West End production of The Mousetrap.
Searching out stories of underdogs and dreamers, we are committed to creating theatre that is attractive to new and non-traditional theatre audiences.
With a strong emphasis on education, we believe in the training and development of actors and writers and are always looking to give opportunities to recent graduates.
Working with schools and colleges, The Long Lane Theatre Company are also helping to train the actors of tomorrow in a fun-filled environment which hones their skills and feeds their imagination.
