Established in 2011, Fiery Dragons is a theatre production company that co-produces and invests in a variety of plays and musicals presented in the West End, on tour in the UK, on Broadway, and internationally. To date we have supported over 300 productions.
The company was co-founded by Edward Snape, who sits on the board alongside a high-profile group of ‘theatre dragons’ comprising Luke Johnson (Chair), Kash Bennett, Eleanor Lloyd, and Rutger Beelaerts.
