The International Theater Company London (ITCL) is a theatrical company that performs in Japan since 1992. It is a collaboration between TNT Theater Britain, The American Drama Group Europe and Stageplay Japan.[1][2]
Background
TNT, The New Theater, was founded in the 1980s. Later, TNT's artistic director MBE Paul Stebbings joined with ADG-Europe. In Japan, the tour is produced by StagePlay Japan, a production company led by producer Paulo Berwanger and his daughter Paula Berwanger.
In 2019, they performed A Midsummer Night's Dream, which was their 46th performance in Japan. As Paul Stebbings describes the troupe: We have always been travelling players, influenced by styles and theories of theater that are not British or even restricted to one country.[3]
