Have a Play and a Dream? Weve Got a Stage for You
Many a fine speech has been born of the beer flowing in the pub below, but it is above the Fringe & Firkin, in the cramped and scruffy quarters of the 100-seat Bush Theater, that more memorable words are often first heard. Here a new play is put on every six weeks. And it is here, far from the glitter of the West End, that many aspiring British playwrights are given a first chance to show off their talent. True, this is not the only London theater that puts on untested plays (so do the Royal Court Upstairs, the Hampstead Theater, the Tricycle Theater in Kilburn and the Royal National Theaters Cottesloe stage). Further, not every playwright whose work is performed here automatically goes onto great careers in the theater. A good number of comedy writers have been spotted here, only to be snapped up by television sitcoms.. Bush Theater in London celebrates its 25th anniversary this winter, and its reputation as cradle of new dramatic writing seems secure; it alone among London theaters is dedicated to new plays; Mike Bradwell, 49-year-old artistic director, comments; photo (M)
