Minimum Theatre was formed in 2002 and performed its first production - Easter Weekend - in 2003. Since then the group has staged at least one play a year, plus shorter pieces as invited. Richard would be delighted to see his plays gain audiences beyond Leicestershire, and believes that his work makes religious material more accessible to a secular audience while at the same time giving traditional church congregations something to think about. He was agreeably surprised that the production of Anna Gabriel - a nativity Play, but not as you know it - had its most enthusiastic response with a non-church audience. This play was published by Jasper Publishing in October 2008.
