British commercial theatre depends on individuals who put money into productions.  These investors are called 'Angels' and the West End of London would collapse without them.  It's a bit like investing in stocks and shares - although arguably more fun!  Like the stock market though, it is also risky and closely controlled by the Financial Services Authority.  Shares, or 'units' as they are called, are used to capitalise productions and are usually from about £1,000 each, although half units are sometimes available. If the show makes money, so do you.  If it loses money, so do you too!

Although some established theatre 'angels' are already involved with 'Hancock', and most producers operate a 'closed' list, Nicholas Hennegan Limited is creating a list of new investors, starting with this national tour of 'Hancocks Finest Hour', by Colin Bennett.   Most or all of the production costs will be raised from Angels.  If you would like to know more and become an 'Angel', please fill in the form below.  (Without obligation, of course...)

And if you are really curious about the process, don't forget our Introduction to Creative Producing Workshop.  After the success of the first workshops at the Theatre Royal Drury Lane and RADA, others are being planned.  Click HERE for details (on the Maverick Theatre website.)
