New Venue

In partnership with the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham, the Bush Theatre has secured an 125 year lease on the old Shepherds Bush Library - a spacious, historic and beautiful building in the heart of the community which allows the Theatre to expand its capacity for audience members, host its supporters in a café bar and increase its work in the community through additional activity.

All eyes will be on the Bush during 2011-12, as this much loved local theatre and international institution, opens its doors and unveils its new venue.

The Bush Theatre throws open its doors in October 2011 with Sixty-Six Books. In this ambitious project, the company have engaged 66 playwrights, poets, novelists and song writers to respond to each of the 66 books in The King James Bible and celebrate its 400th year anniversary.

The festival will see Josie Rourke lead a team of directors presenting the works in three hour, six hour and two epic 24 hour events that present all sixty-six texts.

This will be followed by the world premières of new plays :
