Marlowe Theatre Productions
Marlowe Theatre Productions was set up in March 2025 as a trading company of the Marlowe Theatre Trust to develop and produce high quality touring theatre, made in Kent.
All our productions originate at the Marlowe Theatre, Canterbury and benefit from opening in the theatre’s 1200-seater main house or 150-seater studio. New productions can draw on our in-house expertise in producing, in programming and presenting touring work at scale, in technical, finance, learning and participation, marketing and comms.
Our Writers’ Room, headed by Senior Producer Millie Brierley and Dramaturg Leo Butler, gives projects the time and support they need to develop. It is also a hub for new work in our region, offering writing programmes, nurturing new voices from Kent and creating an annual festival of new writing and industry insights.
Our ambition is to produce plays that speak to our times and to provide mainstream audiences across the UK with high quality drama. We believe that new writing should be on our main stages and not just in studio theatres. We champion diversity and follow best practise in sustainable theatre-making.
The membership fee is divided by the commercial value of the benefits and a suggested donation to The Marlowe Trust, UK registered charity 1179882. The value of suggested benefits for Made at the Marlowe is £1,222. A voluntary donation of £6,788 or more is suggested, which is eligible for Gift Aid. To discuss purchasing benefits separately, contact the Membership Office on 01227 935274.
