The Cygnet Theatre

About

This film is a snapshot of the history of the Cygnet Theatre – the actor training company and the building in which the theatre resides.

Our lovely building just above Exeter’s glorious quayside has been used in many ways since its opening in the monumental year of 1914. Cygnet Theatre took over the building in the 1980s and has been training professional actors ever since. This short film takes a snapshot view of both the history of the building and the formation of an actor training facility that has seen alumni go on to perform at The National Theatre, The West End and in Hollywood.

The video will is now live on the Cygnet Theatre's main website and YouTube.
