About Us

Producer - James Seabright

James is an independent commercial theatre producer and general manager. In those capacities he has worked on over sixty shows since establishing his business in 2001, including the premiere English language adaptation of The Alchemist by Paulo Coelho, which toured and played off-West End in 2005, 2006 and 2007, and a never-ceasing series of tours and West End appearances for the cult solo comedy show Bill Hicks: Slight Return, which heads off on tour to Australia in 2008.

As well as touring shows around the UK and producing in London, he takes a large number of productions to the Edinburgh festival each year under the Festival Highlights banner. These have won a wide range of awards, including Ed Hamell's Herald Angel award in 2007, and the Scotsman Fringe Firsts for What I Heard About Iraq in 2006 and Gone in 2004 (both directed by Hannah Eidinow).

In 2006 Pete and Dud: Come Again played a two-month West End season, and since then the show has toured to New Zealand and in the UK.

In 2007 he launched the UK tour of Potted Potter: The Unauthoried Harry Experience - A Parody by Dan and Jeff, which continues to tour throughout 2008 following sell-out appearances at Edinburgh and Belfast festivals and in London at Trafalgar Studios.

Other notable Edinburgh fringe shows in 2007 include co-producing the Stewart Lee devised Johnson and Boswell: Late But Live and heading up the marketing campaigns for the Glynn Nicholas Group productions Eurobeat and Certified Male.

In 2005 he was profiled by both The Independent on Sunday and The Stage as a leading young theatre producer. James has twice been the recipient of the Stage One New Producer Bursary, in 2002 and 2004.
