In 1986 Gerry Hinks got a few friends together to stage Noel Coward's ‘Private Lives'. Following the success of the production came the birth of Opus Theatre Company...
With a little bit of encouragement from friends he launched the first production; ‘Rattle Of A Simple Man', quickly followed by ‘The Importance Of Being Earnest', ‘The Caretaker' and ‘Educating Rita'. OPUS Theatre Company had tested the water and discovered there were possibilities for future projects.
