The Bush
Shepherd's Bush Green, London W12

After the Royal Court Theatre, this fringe theatre is the most important venue for new works in London.

Opened in April 1972 in the upstairs dining room of The Bush Hotel, the theatre has earned a reputation for discovering outstanding new works, many by first-time writers. 

The Bush has been the spring-board to bigger theatres for young writers, including Conor McPherson, author of The Weir, and actors. 

Many of its productions have successfully transferred to the West End.
