ATG Announces New Production Company

Ambassador Theatre Group (ATG) has announced the formation of a new theatre company, Theatre Royal Brighton Productions, which will present classic drama both on tour and in the West End, under the Artistic Direction of Christopher Luscombe, with Associate Directors Maria Aitken and Philip Franks.

Theatre Royal Brighton Productions will present three plays during its first year, beginning in May 2012, with each production opening at the Theatre Royal Brighton before going on a nationwide tour of the country's best playhouses and then to London. The intention is to deliver the highest quality theatre with the cream of British talent in established, and, on occasion, rarely seen plays.

Artistic Director Christopher Luscombe began his career as an actor, his work including seven years with the Royal Shakespeare Company, as well as appearances at the National Theatre and in the West End. His recent credits as director include The Merry Wives of Windsor at Shakespeare's Globe, When We Are Married in the West End, which received an Olivier nomination for Best Revival, and the UK Tour of Spamalot for ATG. His production of The Madness of George III opens at the Apollo Theatre in January.

The Ambassador Theatre Group also includes Sonia Friedman Productions and First Family Entertainment.

Theatre Royal Brighton Productions will be produced by Howard Panter, Adam Speers and Evanna White fothe Ambassador Theatre Group.
