Arcola Theatre was founded in September 2000 when Mehmet Ergen (the present artistic director) and Leyla Nazli (the present Executive Producer) converted a textile factory on the borders of Stoke Newington/Dalston into one of Londons largest and most adaptable fringe venues (*). Arcola is now one of the countrys most renowned fringe theatres with a distinct and powerful identity both within in the local community and British theatre. Since its foundation Arcola Theatre has won the Peter Brook Empty Space Award two years in a row and was given the Time Out Live Award twice for Inventive Programming on a Shoestring in 2003 and Favourite Fringe Venue in 2005/6. A large number of its productions have been selected as Critics Choice in Time Out and the national papers. It has gained a reputation for staging work by some of the best actors, writers and directors including productions by William Gaskill, Dominic Droomgoole, Max Stafford-Clark, David Farr, Bonnie Greer, Adam Rapp, Sam Shepherd, Eric Schossler, Helena Kaut-Howson and Kathryn Hunter.
