Aside from Macs, one of our passions is Theatre - and we take pride in being able to sponsor smaller productions through the loan of our equipment - free of charge.
Take a look through some of our ongoing sponsorships, and previous ones. We have loaned everything from a single laptop to over 5 units at a time. We are lucky to have been able to sponsor some critically acclaimed productions over the past few years.
If you are a theatre putting on a production, please contact Alex on 01494 355 333.
Becky Shaw - Almeida Theatre, London - January 2011
Becky Shaw is a biting American comedy that enjoyed massive success Off-Broadway in 2009.
What the critics said:
**** (4 stars) Astute, acerbic and richly funny comedy by Gina Gionfriddo
Michael Billington, Guardian, 21 January 2011
**** (4 stars) It remains sharp and funny to the end, and presents its characters with the irony and wit of a latter-day Jane Austen.
Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph, 21 January 2011
The Knowledge + Little Platoons - Bush Theatre, London - January - February 2011
In response to one of the most urgent and divisive issues of our times, the Bush presents The Schools Season: The Knowledge by John Donnelly and Little Platoons by Steve Waters. The season will bring together an ensemble company of ten actors and a series of talks, debates and events which will examine education in Britain today.
What the critics said:
**** (4 stars) Thoroughly entertaining...horribly credible,bitterly funny
Michael Billington, Guardian
**** (4 stars) The first half of two new dramas on education is terrific and made Charles Spencer glad he has never been a teacher.

Tribes - Royal Court Theatre, London - October to November 2010
Nina Raines second play is a fascinating dissection of belonging, family and the limitations of communication. She won the Evening Standard Award and Critics Circle Award for Most Promising Playwright for her debut play Rabbit in 2006.
What the critics said:
A GOOD play lets you see the world through different eyes but the quietly devastating Tribes, which revolves around a young deaf mans place in his family, does even more: it makes you hear the world differently.
***** (5 star) Mark Shenton - Sunday Express
The Royal Court is on an amazing roll, and has come up trumps yet again with Tribes.
**** (4 star) Charles Spencer - Daily Telegraph
The Whisky Taster - The Bush, London - January 2010
Barney and Nicola are advertising wonder kids. They win accounts with wit, charm and a secret weapon - Barneys ability to feel, smell and taste colours, and to translate these sensations into words.
What the critics said:
***** (5 stars) Raise your glass to a pacey comedy
Paul Taylor - The Independent
**** (4 stars) The Whisky Taster at the Bush Theatre displays a superb gift for comic dialogue by playwright James Graham.
Charles Spencer - Daily Telegraph
