About Us

The Lost Theatre Company was founded in 1979 at the London Oratory School where it produced many successful productions, including Ralph Fiennes’ first appearance with us in Romeo and Juliet. It soon grew in popularity and was forced to find a permanent home in order to accommodate its burgeoning theatrical ambitions. In 1982 it moved into 450 Fulham Road – the basement gymnasium of the Methodist Church – which it converted into a marvellous theatre space. The performance space was of a quality rare in London, fully equipped with lighting and scenery. There was seating for almost 100 people and the adjoining cafe provided refreshment during intervals.

During it 17 year tenancy in Fulham LOST has grew into a vibrant and prolific Company. While some groups were content with one play every six months, LOST aimed for at least 12 shows a year! These productions ranged from Lysistrata to Bouncers; Henry V to Cinderella and The Misanthrope to What the Butler Saw.

The Company also ran regular classes for its younger members aged between 10 and 16, culminating in a production. Past shows have included Bugsy Malone, Operation Elvis and All’s Well That Ends.

LOST was also home to many Bands and Muscians, recording Albums, CD's, Demo's;and also composing soundtracks and soundscapes for specific shows in our

very own sound studio.

In December 1999, the Company was forced to leave the building, due to a large scale redevelopment project. Now “homeless”, LOST survives as a touring company, hiring venues in and around the London fringe. However, that has not stopped us from continuing to produce a high standard of work aimed at young people. Our annual One Act Festival for new writers and directors has become ever more important in attracting new talent to the Company and maintaining our
