MERCURY THEATRE COMPANY

The Mercury Theatre Company was formed in 1998 by Dee Evans (chief executive) and Gregory Floy (artistic director). The objective was to develop an ensemble company, performing a classical repertoire, in the belief that this allows for the best quality work both individually and collectively, and to touch the human spirit through the Actor/Audience relationship which is at the centre of all great theatre. In addition, we ensure the best possible quality in production values, and have developed and supported the highest quality in direction and design.

Dancing

Along side the work in the main house we offer a comprehensive range of work in and with the community and schools. Activities from parent and toddler dance to Act Vfor the over fifties. Writers groups, work with the differently abled, and pre show workshops for schools, and residencies within the schools themselves. All the latter are undertaken by the actors in the company, so that the young people in a workshop are working with the actors they will later see on the stage.

In all our work the actors are at the centre, supported and aided by many in and out of our building without whose dedicated work none of this would be possible. This has generated a mutual respect and inter-reliance, resulting in both local national acknowledgement and several awards for our work. Our immediate ambitions include performing our work on a wider national platform.
