English Stage Company

Japanese: イングリッシュ・ステージ・カンパニー(英語表記)English Stage Company
English Stage Company
A British theatre company. Founded in 1955 by director George Devine with the main objective of introducing new plays from Japan and abroad, especially those that were difficult to stage at commercial theatres, the company began performing the following year at the Royal Court Theatre in the Chelsea district of London. One of the productions that year, Look Back in Anger by unknown newcomer John Osborne, sparked a movement for innovation in British theatre. New works by A. Wesker, J. Arden, N. F. Simpson, E. Bond and others were subsequently introduced to the London theatre scene from the company.
