Charm Offensive was established in 2001 by emerging Irish director, Gavin McAlinden. Since its inception, it has received widespread praise. Our most recent productions were the British premiere of Frank McGuinness’ Gates of Gold and The Gigli Concert by Tom Murphy, with Paul McGann, Niall Buggy and Catherine Cusack. These productions played to sold-out crowds and were critically acclaimed. Our production of The Gigli Concert subsequently transferred to the 630 seat Assembly Rooms space at the 2005 Edinburgh Festival.


Charm Offensive’s mission is to continue to produce outstanding new and modern British, Irish and North American work, using the best in established and emerging talent

Upcoming productions include 'You Can't Take It With You' playing at the Southwark Playhouse October-November 2007- more details to follow
