Theatre has always been daring and provocative: for hundreds of years it has been the artistic scene for bringing new ideas to audiences, challenging the status quo and redefining boundaries, personal, artistic and social.

Luke Redmond has been writing theatre for twenty years and directing for ten. A few of his plays are featured below, along with a detailed account of his directing experience.

RedCard Theatre is a small London-based company established by Luke Redmond and James Card in 1998. With a production rate of about one show every five years, it’s clearly been about quality over quantity … Luckily the critics have thought so too.
