the making of
The American Theatre of London brings the authentic spirit of American plays to London audiences.
The idea sparked when Aaron and Annelise noticed that British productions of American classics in London often missed that genuine American touch—rarely were they directed, produced, or performed by Americans.
Seeing American actors were underrepresented, they had a bold thought: why not put on their own American show with a majority of American creatives? But wait, why stop after one show?
What began as a small idea quickly grew into a bigger vision: The American Theatre Company of London. Dedicated to showcasing American plays with a majority of American (and Canadian!) creatives, aiming to bring both fresh and iconic works from the USA to the London stage.

The play originally premièred in the US at the Northlight Theatre, Illinois in 1993 and this production made its UK première at the Tabard Theatre in 2017 to great acclaim. A year later, it transferred to Trafalgar Studios. Ian Brown directed Alexander McMorran (Jody) and Aaron Vodovoz (Carl) for a strictly limited run.
