Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, championing positive notions of Essex, celebrating theatre made by working class people and raising aspirations for emerging artists from Essex and Outer East London. The programme has been made possible by the generous support of
The Clothworkers’ Foundation, and was recently launched with the highly successful regional premiere of David Eldridge’s
In Basildon.
