Internationalist Theatre is a London theatre company founded by South African Greek actress Angelique Rockas in September 1980.[1] The company was originally named New Internationalist Theatre,[2][3] with an intention to pursue an internationalist approach in its choice of plays as well as "a multi-racial drama policy, with an even mix of performers drawn from different cultural groups".[1][4]

The theatre has received coverage from stage papers around the world.[5][6][7][8][9] It received charity status in 1986.[10]

Performances and reception

The Internationalist Theatre has put on plays by, among others, Jean Genet (The Balcony),[11] Brecht (Mother Courage and Her Children), Luigi Pirandello (Liolà),[12][13] Tennessee Williams (In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel),[14] Strindberg (Miss Julie)[15] and Maxim Gorky (Enemies).[16] Their critical reception was generally favourable,[11][17][14][18][19] although not universally; Time Out magazine disliked Mother Courage,[20] and the Financial Times found Liolà's multi-national casting problematic.[21]
