About the Company
LANDMARK PRODUCTIONS Led by Anne Clarke since the company’s foundation in 2003, its productions—including 27 world premieres by major Irish writers, such as Mark O’Rowe and Enda Walsh—have received multiple awards and have been seen in leading theaters in London, New York, and beyond. The company has received numerous awards, including the Judges’ Special Award (Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards) in recognition of “sustained excellence in programming, and for developing imaginative partnerships to bring quality theatre to the Irish and international stage,” and a Special Tribute Award for Anne Clarke for her work as a “producer of world-class theatre in the independent sector in Ireland.” Sponsored by SouthState Bank These performances are made possible in part through funds from the Spoleto Festival USA Endowment, generously supported by BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America. CBS News journalist Martha Teichner hosts a Conversation with Mark O’Rowe and the cast of The Approach at 3:30pm on Monday, May 30, at Dock Street Theatre, 135 Church St.
