Description
As well as continuing to expand its theatre empire, the Ambassador Theatre Group is also committed to developing a series of complementary creative alliances, based in theatre, but with the potential to form a bridge to other media. As a result, the Ambassador Theatre Group has successfully collaborated with several dynamic companies to form highly creative and unique partnerships.
The UK's leading commercial broadcasters, ITV plc has joined forces with the Ambassador Theatre Group to form the company ScreenStage, a crossover rights packaging and production enabling company. This unique initiative was formed with the intention of developing new collaborative works between theatre, television and new media and was the first time such an enterprise had been undertaken by a theatre company with a major television conglomerate. ScreenStage has produced five TV films to date.
Oscar-winning producer, David Parfitt of Trademark Films has teamed up with the Ambassador Theatre Group to develop theatre projects with film potential. Parfitt was the original member of Kenneth Branagh's Renaissance Theatre, then Renaissance Films and producer of the films The Madness of King George and Shakespeare in Love, for which he was awarded an Oscar.
