Angelique Rockas

In 1981 Angelique Rockas founded Internationalist Theatre (originally called New Internationalist Theatre) to perform plays with multi-racial and multi-national casts from actors based in London . Race, accents , nationality did not matter. The plays produced were not written for multi-racial casts so the aim was to break open casting barriers for actors previously excluded from these plays.
As artistic director and founder of this company she oversaw the production of Genet`s `The Balcony`, the British premiere of Griselda Gambaro`s `The Camp `, Brecht`s `Mother Courage and Her Children` , sponsored Fabio Perselli `s British premiere of the first English language performance of Luigi Pirandello`s `Liola` under the aegis of Internationalist Theatre , the British premiere of Tennessee Williams ` In the Bar of a Tokyo Hotel` , Strindberg`s `Miss Julie `, and associate in Gorky`s `Enemies` under the direction of Ann Pennington to name some
Angelique Rockas performed in the above stated productions apart from Liola
