3rdthought
The fifteen years of over 60's drama work based at the Mary Ward Centre has developed into a fringe theatre company known as 3rdthought. Now a year old the group has show a radical version of David Storey's 'Home' in a season of work at Oxford House in Bethnal Green together with a devised piece of physical theatre called 'There We Are'. The latter was also presented in Girona in Spain. Impressed by the quality of these productions the Arts Council is financially supporting the next project, 'Paradise'.
'People in this group have got some nerve attempting such an ambitious programme. You'd think they'd be old enough to know better! From all accounts they do, They are very good'. Mavis Nicholson, The Oldie.
