The Door Off Broadway 

As a result of success at Edinburgh's celebrated Fringe, we have been invited to take The Door Off Broadway.  We will be appearing at the prestigious Theater 59E59, New York's premier off Broadway venue, as part of their festival 'Brits Off Broadway' from 22nd November to 11th December. We've a new director on board, the cast have their visas, and we're all set. The theatre team are setting the ticketing and publicity machines in motion so watch this space for more details...


Another new writing award! - for Visiting Time at Leatherhead

Following in the footsteps of The Door, if plays can be said to have footsteps, Visiting Time was judged the best new writing in the Leatherhead Drama Festival earning Tony another Sir Michael Caine Award. Sir Michael wasn't able to be there this time so the award was presented on his behalf by newsreader Nicholas Owens. Plans are now afoot for a new production of the play with Edinburgh 2012 in the sights.

The Door takes Henley Fringe by storm

Henley Rugby club sold out when we took The Door  there as part of the Henley Fringe - enthusiastic audiences, people coming twice, and a great review. We'll be back.

Success in Scribblerfest

The Rose that I keep in my heart - a ten minute play specially written for the Scribbblerfest competition run by Bracknell's South Hill Park was staged on 13th, 14th and 15th October along with the other shortlisted plays. 

 
Trevor Danby and friends... at Leatherhead Theatre 

Two Tony Earnshaw short plays (about ten minutes each) were featured as part of Leatherhead Theatre's 'Evening with Trevor Danby and friends' on 26th October.  As well as the plays, Tony also read some of his poetry in a well received evening of writing and performance.
