Programme Inclusion

For each tour, The Duke’s Theatre Company produces a high-quality, glossy souvenir brochure. We sell roughly 20 000 of  these across an average tour, and half a page of advertising can be bought for £300. 

 

Join our Venue Family

We are continually looking for exciting locations to add to our family of venue partners. 

Venues considered range from stately homes and castles, to private gardens and Open Air theatres. 

Attractive commercial rates, and a bespoke marketing package ensure each event is professionally and competitively managed. Arrangements can also be made for one off, private performances.

For more information, or to suggest a suitable venue, please email: bobby@thedukestheatrecompany.co.uk

 

Casting

The Duke’s Theatre Company take casting submissions at any time, with initial meetings and recalls taking place in March. We actively seek actors with a particular flair for Classical practice, as well as a robust constitution for Open Air touring. 

 

We are proud to offer an Equity contract to our artists, as well as single occupancy accommodation throughout the entire engagement (rehearsal and playing). The playing schedule is Wednesday to Sunday weekly, with the intention for the company to return home for two full days off per week. 

 

Casting submissions are seriously considered. A covering note should accompany a spotlight link via email, with agents details included. Please wirte to info@thedukestheatrecompany.co.uk with the subject line ‘FAO Casting’.

Venue testimonials

“We were delighted to work with the Duke's Theatre Company in 2021. Their performance of Romeo & Juliet was lauded by our visitors and feedback was unanimously positive. Working with the team was great. The lead-up to the event was effortless and the marketing materials he provided was of a very high quality. The ease & efficiency of their set-up when onsite was exemplary and the actors were friendly and fun to work with. We very much look forward to hosting The Duke's Theatre Company again in 2022.”

“We were delighted to welcome Duke's Theatre Company to Goodnestone Park in 2021, and will be scheduling a return visit for 2022. Particularly impressive was the thought and time given to promoting the production via print and social media, efforts which were reflected in ticket sales. The affable Company Director maintained excellent communication throughout the booking process, and our share of the house was promptly paid. The production itself received glowing reviews, one audience member tweeting “Fantastic interpretation of Romeo and Juliet at Goodnestone Park Gardens last night. Brilliantly performed, amazing and clever staging, well worth a watch”.
