... Criterion Productions
Criterion Productions was launched in December 1993 by Chairman Lord
Attenborough and Chief Executive Sally Greene. The initial production was the
Laurence Olivier Award-nominated production of Jack starring Nicol Williamson
which opened at the Criterion Theatre in June 1994. Its second production was
Ronald Harwood’s Taking Sides starring Daniel Massey which played at the
Criterion Theatre to great acclaim in 1995/6. This was closely followed by
Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse at the Comedy Theatre which starred the author and,
like Taking Sides, was presented in association with Duncan C Weldon Criterion
Productions plc has also produced a tour of Peter Nichols Privates on Parade and
Cyrano do Bergerac at the Lyric Theatre starring Antony Sher, in association
with The Royal Shakespeare Company.
