Plumb Theatre was formed in 2017 when Paul Gittins and David Aston decided they wanted a vehicle to produce intimate theatre that was emotionally and intellectually engaging while also placing emphasis on actors and the craft of acting. Our first production, Blonde Poison by Gail Louw, starred Elizabeth Hawthorne in a mesmerising performance that set the bar at the highest level. A level of excellence we will continue to strive for.
I love that feeling when you go to a theatre show and walk out still carrying the play with you. When you talk about it with your partner or friends in the hours or days after the event. It doesn’t happen to me often but I would like it to. It is the experience I want audiences to have when they come to a Plumb production. I would like them to identify that experience with our brand.
The word ‘theatre' comes from the Ancient Greek and means the `seeing place`. Where people came to a special venue to see actors tell stories about the social situation, to be informed and to be moved in a shared experience. For me that’s it. As a person of the theatre I share stories of the human condition with my fellow humans and we go on a journey together. At its most intimate level those watching see themselves on the stage. All too human and connected. We have shared deeply in something. Shared with another the sense of what it is to be a human being.
