Since founding Horla Theatre in 1999, Horla Theatre have staged 22 productions, most of them at The Rose and Crown Theatre in Hampton Wick, which we managed for four years. One of few venues of this kind in South West London, The Rose and Crown Theatre enjoyed 20 years as an intimate theatre and stand-up venue and we wish to acknowledge the incredible support during our residency of its then owner, Ken Gibson.
Horla Theatre's work includes adaptations of prose by Guy de Maupassant (The Horla, Diary Of A Madman), Edgar Allan Poe (The Black Cat, Cask of Amontillado, Tell Tale Heart, Lionising), Aleister Crowley (The Stratagem), Nikolai Gogol (The Government Inspector), Miguel de Cervantes (Don Quixote) and Charles Dickens (A Christmas Carol). We have also adapted stories by The Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen and other fairy-tale writers for our Christmas shows – Rumplestiltskin and Other Grizzly Tales at New Wimbledon Studio and Grimms at: The Greenwich Playhouse and The Rose and Crown Theatre. We have also staged new work: Just Desserts - a festival of short plays, Elvis Orders a Mai Tai by Emilio Iasiello, The Jests of Skoggan by Steve Morley and Yzeegus by Joanna Volinska among others. Most recently, we produced Grimms The Final Chapter at Traflagar Studios 2 and New Wimbledon Studio and A Christmas Carol at the same venues.
Horla Theatre's most recent productions include Red Riding Hood at the Cannizaro Festival, The Thingumywotsit at the Hen and Chickens and Sparrow Heights at the Greenwich Playhouse.
