The Bridewell Theatre is now home to “The London Ballet Company.”
Opened in 1894, The St Bride Foundation apportioned part of their vast
building in Bride Lane, off Fleet Street, to create The Bridewell
Theatre a century later in 1994.
The Bridewell Theatre has often been called one of the most exciting and
atmospheric performance spaces in the capital. The Theatre, with its
flexible layout, facilitates multiple stage sets, including a swimming
pool under the floor! One of only 3 theatres within the City of London,
the performance programme is fully booked until the end of 2013.
Past productions have includeddramas, musicals, magic shows, burlesque,
big bands, folk music, opera and cabarets, with works from Shakespeare,
Wilde and Sondheim to name but a few, The Bridewell Theatre is now home
to “The London Ballet Company.”
With a return season of the highly acclaimed “An Olympic Dream,” The
London Ballet Company have joined forces with The Bridewell Theatre to
create charity lead events throughout 2012 which will include "Open City
Weekend.” The London Ballet Company will also be performing for a
Lunchboxseason commencing in October this year with their World Premiere
of a “James Bond” themed production.
The Director, Sophie Francesa Wright, and the group of internationally
trained ballet dancers take their performances to a variety of venues,
events and commercial engagements both at home, and abroad, in addition
to their London and U.K. theatrical engagements. Their most recent
appearance, to rapturous applause, was at St Pancras International
Station.
Lucy Hilliard, representing the St. Bride Foundation said: "We are proud
to bring this art form to our part of London. Following the outstanding
success of The London Ballet Company's performance at the Bridewell
Theatre, it seemed natural to bring our synergy together. We are both
charity lead, with The London Ballet Company supporting "Save The
Children."
We look forward to the future and making this a continuing part of our
cultural ethos.
