Patron Sir Ian McKellan, Chair Jeremy Newton, Artistic Director Stephen Unwin, Executive Director Tim Highman. Winner of ten national awards in eight years, English Touring Theatre was set up in 1993 with the aim of bringing the best possible theatre to as many people throughout the country. "At the heart of everything we do is the passionately held belief that quality theatre does not have to be elitist, and that people everywhere expect and deserve the best. This is why in addition to the work on stage we also provide a first class education programme to accompany our tours. We are committed to making our work as accessible as possible, and have extended the Friends of English Touring Theatre membership options to celebrate the support we receive from our audience." Address from July 2001 will be 25 Short Street, London SE1 8LJ,Tel:0207 450 1990 Fax:0207 450 1991. http://www.englishtouringtheatre.co.uk
