Troupe Theatre Company
Founded in Cape Town by Fiona Ramsay, Richard E. Grant and Henry Goodman in 1980, also including Neil McCarthy. *** They were initially drawn together by a common interest in communal working methods and a desire to do a type of theatre that deviated from the traditional commercial fare. They had no funding or administration of their own, being purely a performance group and dependent on sponsoring managements such as The People's Space.
They brought their production of the Brecht-Weill The Threepenny Opera starring Sean Taylor to the Market Theatre in 1981. Other productions of this company include Metamorphosis, Summit Conference, Agamemnon, Decadence, Fanshen, Guinea Fowl and Claw.
