Summary
Ted Craig, the visionary artistic director who turned London’s Warehouse Theatre into a global hub for new plays, has died at 86. For over 25 years, he battled financial odds to nurture emerging talent, launching the acclaimed International Playwriting Festival and staging groundbreaking works that later graced the Royal Court. A former Aussie TV veteran, he also brought laughs with his musical comedies starring Dick Barton. Even after the theatre’s closure in 2012, Craig refused to fade — founding Warehouse Phoenix and staging his final festival in 2016. His legacy? A thriving generation of playwrights and an indelible mark on British theatre. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
