History
London Theatre Blog was born out of a simple passion for theatre. The site began as a personal blog exploring ideas on the creation and experience of theatre. In late 2006 LTB invited several guest authors to contribute articles on topics related to their areas of expertise. Blogging had begun to permeate the theatre industry consciousness around this time and there was a sugre in activity, with theatre professionals, students and afficionados keen to partake in the global online theatre debate.

LTB continued on its trajectory of diversification, recognising the need to bring together a wide range of voices and experiences to discuss and act on the pressing issues of the day. It is the combination of high standards, passion for theatre and diversity of opinion that makes London Theatre Blog one of the UK’s leading online theatre publications.
