Iris Theatre
Iris Theatre is a professional theatre company created in 2007 by Dr. Daniel Winder to produce work at the world-famous St. Paul's Church, Covent Garden.
Its mission is to support the development of the next generation of professional theatre practitioners and it aims to produce an affordable and accessible repertoire of shows. Today the company is firmly rooted within the London West End theatre environment and provides a unique central London platform for emerging theatre artists.
It is particularly known for its outdoor productions which run throughout the summer months, playing to audiences of 10,000 people a summer. These summer productions generally pair a Shakespeare play alongside a classic family show.
Iris Theatre became a charity in 2009. [1]
