Snapdragon Productions is a London theatre company run by producer Sarah Loader and director Eleanor Rhode. In 2018 they opened the UK Touring production Teddy by Tristan Bernays and Dougal Irvine. It opened at the Watermill Theatre and will finish its run at VAULTS Waterloo. [1] In April 2016, Snapdragon made their international debut at 59e59 Theaters, New York, with their off-Broadway transfer of Toast by Richard Bean. Snapdragon's 2016 World Premiere of Teddy by Tristan Bernays and Dougal Irvine won the 2016 Off West End Award for Best New Musical. Between 2013 and 2015 Snapdragon presented three plays at The Park Theatre in their 200-seat space including their production of Thark by Ben Travers. The revival was the first London production in nearly 30 years, and was the world premiere of its new adaptation, by actor/writer Clive Francis. They returned to the venue in December 2013 to present the London premiere of The Dead Wait by Paul Herzberg. On 27 August, Snapdragon's revival of Toast by Richard Bean opened at The Park Theatre and received a consistently positive response, particularly for the strong ensemble performances including those from Matthew Kelly and Simon Greenall. [2] On 9 September the company announced their production of Toast would tour the UK in 2016, culminating with a limited run off-Broadway as part of 59E59's Brits Off Broadway festival. [3] Their transfer to 59e59 Theaters received favourable reviews including Critics Pick from Ben Brantley of the New York Times. Their co-production of Accolade by Emlyn Williams opened to strong reviews including a 5-star review from Quentin Letts of the Daily Mail. [4] This production was produced with Nicola Seed as part of the Stage One season for new producers. [5] Selected work
Productions in developmentProductions in development include a Gorky's Vassa in a new adaptation by Luke Barnes; a UK Tour of their rock 'n' musical Teddy by Tristan Bernays and Dougal Irvine; and a retelling of the Boudica story from playwright Tristan Bernays. ReviewsIn his final review for The Daily Telegraph, Charles Spencer heralded Snapdragon's production of Toast as “like a latter-day Ibsen but with rather better jokes… Constantly compelling.”.[20] Overall, the production received twelve four-star reviews including from The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph, The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sunday Express, Time Out, The Stage, WhatsOnStage and The Evening Standard. In The Guardian, Michael Billington called the production of Thark "a joyous evening in a parallel universe".[21] In a five-star review of A Life by Hugh Leonard ThePublicReviews.com called Eleanor Rhode's production a “stunning revival of this minor-key comic masterpiece.” [22] In The Financial Times, Sarah Hemming found the production of Generous on the whole impressive: "a witty, sympathetic exploration of human behaviour".[23] Billington called it "bright, sharp, swift and well-acted".[24] In The Independent on Sunday Kate Bassett said of A Day at the Racists that although "this low-budget staging is a little rough around the edges" it was theatrically "the wow of the week".[25] References1. ^https://www.broadwayworld.com/uk-regional/article/Cast-Announced-For-Award-Winning-Musical-TEDDY-on-Tour-20171208 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.whatsonstage.com/london-theatre/news/06-2014/toast-park-theatre-matthew-kelly-simon-greenall_34892.html |title=Matthew Kelly and Simon Greenall star in Richard Bean's Toast |publisher=Whats On Stage |date= |accessdate=2014-06-30}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.whatsonstage.com/kingston-theatre/news/uk-tour-new-york-richard-bean-toast_38692.html |title=UK tour announced for Richard Bean's Toast |publisher=Whats On Stage |date= |accessdate=2015-10-10}} 4. ^http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-2838742/When-seen-1950-Emlyn-Williams-s-semi-autobiographical-play-dynamite-Today-no-gripping-QUENTIN-LETTS-night-review-Accolade.html 5. ^http://www.onestageseason.co.uk/shows/accolade/ 6. ^https://www.broadwayworld.com/uk-regional/article/Cast-Announced-For-Award-Winning-Musical-TEDDY-on-Tour-20171208 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.orangetreetheatre.co.uk/whats-on/when-we-were-women?qt-production_tabbed_info=0 | |date= |accessdate=2015-05-30}} 8. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.whatsonstage.com/london-theatre/news/teddy-southwark-playhouse-full-cast_37690.html?cid=homepage_news |title=Exclusive: Full cast announced for Teddy at the Southwark Playhouse |publisher=WhatsOnStage |date= |accessdate=2015-04-29}} 9. ^https://www.stjamestheatre.co.uk/theatre/accolade/ 10. ^{{cite web|url=http://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/toast |title=Toast - Park Theatre |publisher=Park Theatre |date= |accessdate=2014-06-30}} 11. ^{{cite web|url=http://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/the-dead-wait |title=The Dead Wait - Park Theatre |publisher=Park Theatre |date= |accessdate=2014-06-30}} 12. ^{{cite web|url=http://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/thark |title=Thark - Park Theatre |publisher=Park Theatre |date= |accessdate=2014-06-30}} 13. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk/productions/2012/a-life.php |title=A Life - 2012 Productions |publisher=Finborough Theatre |date= |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 14. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk/productions/2012/the-drawer-boy.php |title=The Drawer Boy - 2012 Productions |publisher=Finborough Theatre |date= |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 15. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk/productions/2012/barrow-hill.php |title=Barrow Hill - 2012 Productions |publisher=Finborough Theatre |date=2012-09-04 |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 16. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/generous-rev |title=Theatre review: Generous at Finborough Theatre |publisher=Britishtheatreguide.info |date=2010-01-30 |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 17. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk/transition-archive/2010/adayattheracists.php |title=Finborough Theatre |publisher=Finborough Theatre |date=2010-03-27 |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 18. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.finboroughtheatre.co.uk/transition-archive/2010/meandjuliet.php |title=Finborough Theatre |publisher=Finborough Theatre |date=2010-10-30 |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 19. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.offwestend.com/index.php/plays/view/5621 |title=Anna Karenina, by Helen Edmundson & Leo Tolstoy at Arcola Theatre - 24 Ashwin St Dalston London E8 3DL - London UK - more on OffWestEnd.com - Listings and showtimes for over 80 Off West End theatres in London UK |publisher=Offwestend.com |date= |accessdate=2014-05-31}} 20. ^http://parktheatre.co.uk/whats-on/toast/quotes-reviews#sthash.IdfAieny.dpuf 21. ^Billington, Michael."Thark – Park Theatre", The Guardian, 28 August 2013 22. ^http://www.thepublicreviews.com/a-life-finborough-theatre-london/ 23. ^Hemming, Sarah.
