About Us
Lidless Theatre is an award-winning London theatre company that focuses on high quality revivals and developing New Writing with some of the UK’s leading, and emerging, writers. The company is run by Co-Artistic Directors Max Harrison, Kit Hinchcliffe, and Zoe Weldon.
For a decade, Lidless Theatre has developed close relationships with writers.
Most recently we have worked with Philip Ridley on THE PITCHFORK DISNEY, TENDER NAPALM (King’s Head Theatre) and LEAVES OF GLASS (Park Theatre, Hope Mill Theatre & Yvonne Arnaud), which received 15 5-star reviews, broke the box office record at Park Theatre and returned there for a second sold out run…the first time this has ever happened at the theatre!
We have also recently completed a R&D process with Sophie Swithinbank, on her new play, STING, which has consequently been commissioned by the Young Vic for Nadia Fall’s inaugural season.
Nominated for 5 off-west end awards and winner of best lead performance.
