About Us

Operating Productions grew from Operating Theatre Company (OTC), which John and  Kevin formed in the 1980s along with others, having all met at drama school.  Over a period of ten years we managed three venues, the last of which was the Hen & Chickens Theatre in Islington. We also produced over thirty plays, most of which we acted in and some we directed.  OTC won two major awards, LWT Plays on Stage and the Guinness/Royal National Theatre Festival awards.

John and Kevin then moved on to establish Operating Productions – the aim of which is to produce and direct their own films.
