- Live_Theatre_Company abstract "The Live Theatre formerly Live Theatre Company is a theatre and company based in Newcastle upon Tyne, England. The company aims to attract new audiences for its accessible work as well as its friendly and informal theatre space. Based on Newcastle’s Quayside Live Theatre is one of the UK’s leading new writing producers. Live Theatre creates and performs new plays of world class quality, finds and develops creative talent and unlocks the potential of young people through theatre. It was founded in Tyneside in 1973 by Val McLane and Geoff Gillham. The company originally toured its work regionally to non-traditional theatre settings, such as community halls and working men's clubs. The company was creating plays and stories that were relevant to the North East community and sought to break down barriers by presenting this work to ordinary working-class people within their own communities.The company has been based in Newcastle Quayside since 1982, expanding over the years to occupy the current premises which combine converted warehouses and Almshouses to create a unique building which houses a theatre auditorium, café bar, rehearsal spaces and administrative offices. Live also took over the lease of a new warehouse building on Broad Chare, immediately adjacent to the previous theatre. In 2007 Live Theatre underwent a further capital development. It now combines state-of-the-art facilities in a unique historical setting, including an intimate cabaret style theatre, a studio theatre, renovated rehearsal rooms, a series of dedicated writer’s rooms as well as a thriving café, bar and gastro pub, The Broad Chare, all in a beautifully restored and refurbished complex of five Grade II listed buildings. Live Theatre develops new writing talent in the region. The company has enjoyed significant relationships with many writers such as CP Taylor, Tom Hadaway, Alan Plater and, more recently, Peter Flannery, Michael Chaplin, Peter Straughan, Julia Darling, Lee Hall, Sean O'Brien and Karen Laws. Many plays have been commissioned and produced over the years which are now known nationally and internationally, such as Close The Coalhouse Door, Cooking with Elvis and A Nightingale Sang.In 2013 Live Theatre celebrated 40 years of creating plays on Tyneside with a programme that included a new national tour of Lee Hall’s The Pitmen Painters by Bill Kenwright Limited, and sell out runs at Live Theatre of Tyne by Michael Chaplin, Wet House by new talent Paddy Campbell and a revival of Lee Hall’s 'Cooking with Elvis. Live Theatre is a national leader in developing new strategies for developing income and assets for the charity. LiveWorks is the fourth in a series of digital and creative enterprises that will join The Broad Chare, an online playwriting course www.beaplaywright.com and The Schoolhouse (an office space for creative and digital businesses) to increase Live Theatre’s future income, building resilience for the Theatre for the future, and transforming the part of the Quayside.".
