Restoration theatre was a revolution in itself, staged anywhere that was available – from disused tennis courts to ancestral family homes. In light of this, forward thinking theatre company Go People are bringing John Vanbrugh’s The Provoked Wife to intimate venues across London; and see they have an amazing opportunity to explore a revival of this idea, making new and unusual spaces our playground in the delivery of a brilliantly alternative theatrical experience. Their current bookings include both private and public performances happening in living rooms, member’s clubs, churches and hotels and run from 10th March – 23rd March.

About Go People:
Go People are a theatre company formed of three professional actors who first met at Cambridge University, aiming to bring under-appreciated or undiscovered plays – as well as talent – to the London theatre scene. They believe that theatre belongs equally to the people making it and the people who watch – and that this can happen anywhere, from a traditional theatre to a living room, church or hotel bar.
Go People make having a group of actors come to your home to perform solely for you and your guests an utterly unique reality, offering exclusive performances of plays for private parties and corporate events – the full theatre experience without having to leave the house!
The production company aim to recapture the fun and excitement, energy and surprise that private, live theatre can add to any occasion, whether you are planning a celebration for hundreds of people or an intimate soiree with close friends, Go People will work with you to create something truly magical and memorable.
Go People can tailor the event to suit your needs – you might like to select something from their extensive repertoire of modern plays and old favourites, or maybe you already have something particular in mind you would like them to adapt. And, what’s more, they can perform in any space you choose – from a spectacular garden to a cosy living room, every seat is top price quality – no more restricted views or struggling to hear every line!
