Grateful Thanks Silver Thread Productions was founded by Stephen Glover and Deborah Leveroy in 2008 with a specific remit to produce inventive revivals of the best contemporary British plays. Our long term aim is for Silver Thread to play a leading role in supporting, celebrating and producing the work of today’s best British playwrights. In January 2009 our first production, The Dice House by Paul Lucas, played to sell-out audiences and four star reviews at the Hen & Chickens Theatre, Islington. ‘The audience are roaring with laughter within the first two minutes.’ **** WhatsOnStage ‘Ambitious, polished, well cast and a joy to watch. Top fringe theatre.’ **** Fringe Review One year on, we are delighted to be presenting the first British revival of Progress for almost 25 years. Doug Lucie’s writing remains powerful, relevant and often painfully funny. Progress is a prime example of a British play that deserves to be seen again. I hope you enjoy the performance.

  • Submission Draft Hampstead Neighbourhood Plan 2018-2033
    SUBMISSION DRAFT HAMPSTEAD NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN 2018-2033 Published in October 2017 by: Hampstead Neighbourhood Forum under the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 0 1 Foreword This document represents the culmination of more than three years of work by many volunteers and is based on the input of hundreds of local people. Our aim with this Neighbourhood Plan is to promote Hampstead’s future as a lively and contemporary neighbourhood with exceptional heritage and unique open spaces. Over the course of 2014, the Forum consulted extensively with residents, businesses and other stakeholders in Hampstead. We appeared at festivals, met with groups and individuals, got out the word through our website and the local media and managed to increase our membership from about 150 to more than 1000. Several hundred people attended our three consultation events. We listened to your feedback and worked hard to incorporate your views into a “Vision” document. The excellent response helped us establish a clear set of aims and objectives for how the local community would like to shape future development. During 2015 and 2016, we sought to put some policy flesh on these visionary bones, or rather, some teeth. We also spent many months gathering the evidence to back up these policies. We presented our draft Neighourhood Plan for consultation in the spring of 2017 and received overwhelming support for the policies it contained. We are grateful for the support we have received from Locality and would like to thank everyone who has helped produce this document, to the Forum Committee, to all of our local Councillors, to our consultants at Fortismere Associates, to Deborah McCann for conducting our Health Check and to Andrew Triggs and Brian O’Donnell at Camden Council for their guidance and support.

  • PRESS RELEASE 23 July 2019
    PRESS RELEASE 23 July 2019 Theatres Trust awards over £50,000 to eleven theatres across London as grant scheme changes allow more small theatres to apply Eleven more small London theatres receive up to £5,000 each from the Theatres Trust London Small Theatres Grants Scheme for projects that improve operation, access and environment for all theatre users. Five theatres were able to apply for the first time thanks to changes made to the tenure and charitable structure criteria to widen eligibility: Coronet Theatre, King’s Head Theatre, Matchstick Piehouse, Pentameters and 2Northdown. Hampstead’s pub theatre, Pentameters, will undertake urgent electrical works which will protect this well-loved local theatre – this grant is the first the venue has ever received. The Coronet Theatre will be able to provide induction loop facilities for the hearing impaired as it upgrades its sound system; and the King’s Head Theatre, will be able to fund an accessible lift in its brand new basement theatre home. Matchstick Piehouse, a new 60-seat railway arch theatre, will improve the flexibility of its auditorium with extra sound proofing and rigging positions. A benefit to all users, this work will also reduce the risk of noise complaints from neighbours. Also newly eligible 2Northdown, a small comedy venue in King’s Cross, the testing ground for comedians expanding from stand-up, will install a permanent stage allowing artists the facilities to present this art form more theatrically. Six other theatres receive Theatres Trust funding to ensure better facilities for audience and artist. The Bernie Grant Arts Centre, in Tottenham, will ensure the safety of its visitors by installing improved security systems, and those attending the Pleasance Theatre Islington and Studio 3 Arts will benefit from upgraded heating and cooling systems.

  • An Investigation Into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright
    An Investigation into How Engagement with the Context and Processes of Collaborative Devising Affects the Praxis of the Playwright: A Practice-as-Research PhD Volume 2 223 Practice-As-Research: The 9.21 to Shrub Hill (Devised Production) Playground (Non-Devised Production) and Accompanying Exegesis 224 Chapter Five Exegesis of the Processes of Creating a Devised Script (The 9.21 to Shrub Hill) and Non-Devised Script (Playground) Introduction The preceding chapters have created a framework for the analysis of my own experiences as a writer-deviser. Without this framework, it would be difficult to situate my practice within a theoretical context, since a similar academic discourse, placing the writer-deviser at the heart of the study, does not exist. As highlighted in the Introduction, the central query of this dissertation is how engagement with devising affects a playwright. This is a query with important ramifications for pedagogical practice and the discourses of devising and playwriting in general, but also represents a significant investigation in the development of my own artistic practice. As previously discussed, my methodological approach encompasses both research-led practice, and practice-led research.1 The preceding chapters have informed the development of the two scripts contained within this volume, and the development of the two scripts directed the focus of my research. As with most PaR investigations, the findings resulting from the practice share equal weighting (if not, in the case of some researchers, more) with those discoveries made from traditional, text-based research methodologies. Whilst I explore the ramifications of devising practice on my writing, I am also placing it within the context of the previous chapters’ revelations, finding resonances with the work of other writer-devisers, and testing out the theories presented of both devising and writing in my own work.
