Savio(u)r Theatre Company is dedicated to uniting British and American artists through theatre. Based in London and founded in August 2009, the company currently leads the 2011 Off-West End awards with six nominations for the London transfer of At the Broken Places at the Cock Tavern Theatre. We kicked off its second season in November with The Trojan Women at the Cock Tavern Theatre. Our inaugural season comprised of Twelfth Night at the Courtyard Theatre, Crave by Sarah Kane at Camden People's Theatre, A Doll's House Revisited, a comedic reinvention of Ibsen's classic by Joe Brady at the Etcetera Theatre, Thornton Wilder's Our Town at Camden People's Theatre, and the world premiere of At the Broken Places by Joseph Horton at C Central in Edinburgh.

In August, we presented the world premiere of The Toll by Joseph Horton at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe. This fast-paced comedy is based on the true stories of a former toll collector, and presents a hilarious and moving portrait of American life in the fast lane, brought to a halt, and made to pay the toll.
