First performed in 1970, Company follows Bobby, who turns 35 and finds himself re-evaluating his relationships as all around him the people in his life marry, start families, and divorce. It features musical numbers such as “Side By Side By Side”, “Being Alive” and “Ladies Who Lunch”.

Directed by the venue’s founder and artistic director Jay Miller, the production will open at the Yard Theatre's new home in Hackney Wick, performed by actor-musicians. The creative team includes musical director, arranger and orchestrator Màth Roberts, set and costume designer Anna Yates, lighting designer Jackie Shemesh, sound designer Josh Anio Grigg, choreographer Malik Nashad Sharpe and casting director Heather Basten. Casting is underway.

This will be the largest scale production presented by the venue to date, with a significant cast and plans to take it on tour. Speaking about the revival, Miller commented on its relevance to the modern age, with its exploration of communication and connection, and the loneliness of being single and unsure where you want your life to go.

Company will run at the Yard Theatre from 27 May to 10 July 2027, with a press night on 8 June.
