Memory Lane » London Bubble Theatre Company

Take a walk down memory lane...

Partly inspired by a festering pile of archive boxes containing 40 years of history, driven by a belief that Bubble’s evolution is worth consideration, dreamt up by an over-excited working party and delivered by Iris/Richard power we bring you the archive.

The vision is that this pulls together not only all the scripts, cast lists, reviews, photographs and petty cash receipts, but that it also contains reflections and stories of audiences and participants. So dive in and get involved.

Below are some of our past projects, you can filter the projects by “Category”, “Date” or search for something in particular using the options below:
