the making of
The American Theater of London brings the authentic spirit of American plays to London audiences.
The idea sparked when Aaron and Annelise noticed that British productions of American classics in London often missed that genuine American touch—rarely were they directed, produced, or performed by Americans.
Seeing that American actors were underrepresented, they had a bold thought: why not put on their own American show with a majority of American creatives? But wait, why stop after one show?
What began as a small idea quickly grew into a bigger vision: The American Theater Company of London. Dedicated to showcasing American plays with a majority of North American creatives, aiming to bring both fresh and iconic works from the USA to the London stage.
