Date Opened: Unknown

Oval house is an Off-West End theatre located in Kennington Oval, London, England. Formerly called the Oval House Theatre, the venue 'played a key part in supporting the experimental theatre companies of the '60s and '70s, the emergence of gay, lesbian and women's theatre in the 1970s and 80's and the development of new Black and Asian writing in the '90s and into the next millennium. Following a rebrand in 2011, the theatre relaunched itself as Ovalhouse, and continues to programme innovative, cutting edge theatre. [...] Ovalhouse has two theatre spaces, the Theatre Downstairs (up to 200 seats) and the Theatre Upstairs (70 seats)' (Wikipedia).

Production

Mountain Language (Ovalhouse) (2000)

'In Tandem TC’s inaugural production in 2000 was a pioneering double bill of Pinter’s Mountain Language and Landscape, translated and performed entirely in British Sign Language by Deaf and hearing actors. Other hearing actors voiced the spoken text from the audience synchronising with and responding to the BSL interpretation of the onstage performances. A preparatory workshop was held prior to the production.' (Jessica Higgs website)

There appear to be 2 spaces; still need to determine which one was used for this production (BC).
