Stratford Play House

Our company Toucan Play Productions began their time at Stratford Play House in July, 2018 - We were kindly welcomed by the other businesses with whom we now share a building. Many may not realise  it but there are quite a few – Herbs and Accupuncture for example, then Charles Saville Estate Agents, DG Services, Chris Wheeler, Greenwood Planning, Much Ado About Insurance, Stratford Projects, Fred Theatre, Cloud Book Keeping, The Orchestra of the Swan and the Gods on Mount Olympus themselves – the Stratford Town Trust. So it is indeed an interesting place and it has an appropriately interesting history. The story starts when Rother Street was established during the laying out of Stratford as a planned town in 1196. Rother is an Anglo Saxon word for cow and, appropriately enough, it was home to a cattle market.
