Often productions at Network (especially new writing) move on to be produced at other theatres around London, the UK and overseas, with some or all of the same production team and cast. Recent Network Theatre Company productions have also been seen at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival (Class), The Rosemary Branch in Islington (Mojo), The Union Theatre in London (Karaoke Wedding), the Prague Fringe Festival (Lysistrata), and Riverside Studios in Hammersmith (Facades).
In addition, many of our members are also members of other groups and take part in those groups' productions.

'Henry V' by William Shakespeare
Shakespeare’s well-loved, controversial treatise on war and leadership is re-imagined on a life-sized board game, where the audience conspire to decide Henry’s fate on the battlefield.
Pared back to a rapid-fire 90 minutes, this dynamic ensemble piece combines the original text with striking physical imagery, innovative movement sequences and direct contact with the audience to tell the inspiring story of one leader and his epic struggle for victory.

'Lust' by the Heather Brothers
Based on 'The Country Wife', written by William Wycherley, this musical features more twists and turns than a 1980's mini series with unrequited love, saucy wenches, colourful fops and a hanging!
The year is 1661 and the restoration of the monarchy is underway. Our hero (?) is Mr Horner, whose exploits in the beds and boudoirs of the ladies of society have reached legendary proportions. But the husbands of London have had enough and Horner finds bedroom doors slammed in his face. A trip to his friend 'The Quack' sees a rumour started and soon all London is talking about how Horner has caught the pox and had to undergo a radical operation. The Quack supplies two pickled walnuts in a jar and the deception begins.
