Third Party For years THIRD PARTY have been a favourite on the national and international touring circuit. We are dedicated to giving them a proper home in central London. Their recent production of DR FAUSTUS, co-produced with NDT, led to great national reviews for the company, and the New Diorama and Third Party were jointly awarded a Peter Brook award. THIRD PARTY perform in theatres, art centres, village halls, outdoor spaces and festivals; and have given over 1000 performances all over the UK and abroad. The majority of their work is based on classic plays which are deconstructed and reimaged during the rehearsal process, indulging in their humour, THIRD PARTY give classic plays a contemporary and experimental vitality. Won a Peter Brook Award, 2010, with NDT for their production of THE TRAGICAL HISTORY OF DR FAUSTUS www.thirdparty.org.uk
Spare Tyre Spare Tyre brought together the two main strands of their work for the first time at New Diorama in Autumn 2010 - the Hot Pots (their over 60s team) and inc.Theatre (who create work with adults with learning disabilities). Their exceptional theatre work is often very funny, thought provoking and bitingly satirical. SPARE TYRE returned to NDT with TROJAN WOMEN, an outdoor performance performed by the Hot Pots in May 2011. Spare Tyre uses and makes theatre that enables voiceless communities and individuals to share and celebrate their untold stories, transforming lives and challenging prejudice. Their history of producing bold and powerful theatre that inspires and challenges communities, artists and audiences, stretches over thirty years.
