The British Theatre Playhouse (BTP) is a professional theatrical and musical production company incorporated in Singapore in 2004.[1] With the motto Bringing to the World the Best in British Entertainment, the BTP is internationally focused with a British connection, as well as it is a long-standing member of the Singaporean British Chamber of Commerce[2] and the European Chamber of Commerce.[3] In 2012, the BTP also established a UK branch office, in order to work more closely with British playwrights, writers, actors, directors, musical directors, and set and costume designers.
The company has produced, presented and successfully toured a series of highly successful British productions in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Sri Lanka, UAE and the UK, and is currently looking to expand its production output in Hong Kong and India. Its aim is to continue bringing to the audience shows which feature stars and other prominent stage, television and film actors, or music performers, from London's West End, as it has been the case with all its shows so far.[4] So far, the BTP has produced 25 plays and musicals, making it a largely active production company, as it has been steadily achieving at least 2 productions per year since its foundation.
