General

Theatrevoice is a website for audio content about British theatre, and features journalists from across the UK as well as press and practitioners from across the theatre industry. It was set up in 2003 to see if theatre could be talked about in a new way: allowing critics to be more expansive than the usual space constraints of the print media allowed. In 2008, V&A Theatre Collections and Rose Bruford College, London agreed to support the site in partnership. (http://www.theatrevoice.com/about_us/, accessed 7/2010)

History

Frantic Assembly’s Othello premiered at the Theatre Royal,Plymouth, on 23 September 2008 and played at the Lyric Hammersmith, London, from 6-22 November 2008.
