★★★★ Watching the excellent Yolanda Ovide, as Nazer, transform from an open-faced, hopeful little girl into a shrunken, cowed young woman is awful. There’s a wonderful performance too from Ebony Feare as her friend, Kheko. That they represent real people, and that their experiences are common to many, is what really hits you. This is theatre as educator and campaigner, admirably shining a light on this most hideous and shameful of trades. - Financial Times

When we talk about slavery, our minds immediately land to the olden days of colonies and plantations; perhaps we think of the much discussed reparations provided to the victims or their descendants, or we draw back to those tedious corporate trainings that address a problem that seemingly doesn't be...

Our story

In 1976, Peter Gill (pictured centre) was appointed Riverside's first Artistic Director and soon established the Studios as a leading London arts venue with acclaimed productions of The Cherry Orchard starring Julie Covington (1978), The Changeling starring Brian Cox (1979) and Measure for Measure (1979) starring Helen Mirren.

During the late 1970s and 80s, Riverside hosted the highly successful Dance Umbrella seasons, as well as a huge variety of international productions including notably the work of Polish theatre maestro Tadeusz Kantor and a series of legendary theatre workshops with the Italian playwright Dario Fo. On two occasions during the early 1980s, Samuel Beckett rehearsed productions at Riverside, later describing the venue as ‘a haven’. An influential gallery also flourished, hosting exhibitions by such luminaries as David Hockney, Antony Gormley and Yoko Ono.

Throughout the 1990s Riverside Studios continued its popular programme of theatre, film, opera, dance and music with notable productions including Hamlet starring Alan Rickman, Robert Lepage’s The Seven Streams of the River Ota, The Master Builder starring Brian Cox and Anthony and Cleopatra starring Vanessa Redgrave. Television production also returned to Riverside, with Studio 1 hosting such long-running shows as TFI Friday and CD:UK and, in more recent years,The Apprentice: You're Fired!, Celebrity Juice, Russell Howard's Good News and The Last Leg.

The 2000s saw companies such as Complicite and The Wooster Group bring their groundbreaking work to Riverside, while other notable theatre productions include Scaramouche Jones starring Pete Postlethwaite and The Exonerated starring Stockard Channing and Danny Glover. In the early 2010s, the musical Salad Days, A Round-Heeled Woman starring Sharon Gless and Mies Julie by Yael Farber proved great successes.
