About the Tricycle
It is a hugely exciting time to join the team at the Tricycle Theatre, one of London’s leading producing venues, as it prepares to reopen in 2018 following an extensive capital project. The project will deliver a raft of improvements, including an upgraded theatre with a new stage and seating, improved access throughout the auditorium and backstage areas and better front of house facilities for all, including a new café space providing a more welcoming environment for audiences and the public.
Under the leadership of Artistic Director, Indhu Rubasingham, and Executive Producer, Bridget Kalloushi, the Tricycle has played to 95% capacity for the majority of our in-house productions (including Red Velvet, Handbagged, The Father and The Mother) and successfully transferred productions to New York (Red Velvet at St Ann’s Warehouse) and the West End (Handbagged at the Vaudeville, The Father at Wyndham’s Theatre). The Tricycle has won an Olivier Award for Outstanding Achievement and a London Evening Standard Theatre Award and the Tricycle’s latest hit, The Invisible Hand, by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Ayad Akhtar was recently nominated during 2017’s Olivier’s Awards.
Our Mission
The Tricycle presents the world through a variety of different lenses, projecting unheard voices in to the mainstream. We create high-quality, engaging and innovative work. Located in Brent, the most diverse borough in London, the Tricycle is a local venue with an international presence.
Our Vision
We produce world-class British and international theatre that reflects the exceptional diversity of our local community. We make theatre that crosses continents and tells big stories about how human connections are made through culture, race and language.
The Tricyclestages at least six productions per year in our intimate and unique theatre. Of these plays, half are produced in house by the Tricycle’s artistic team, with other work staged in collaboration with national and international companies.
Our ambitious Creative Learning programme aims to develop the imagination, aspiration and potential of children and young people. We invest in creating meaningful relationships with young people who are passionate about theatre but often have limited access to it.
