The company was founded by James Roose-Evans, 87, who established the Hampstead Theatre and wrote the play “84 Charing Cross Road.” . . . Roose-Evans, 87, “told the Independent that many actors in their 60s, 70s and 80s ‘become invisible,’ and he was inspired to do something to redress the balance.” Read more here.
