Gren Middleton born in South Africa, trained as a lighting cameraman and photographed some 14 feature films, as well as numerous documentary films and TV dramas before setting up Movingstage Marionette company with his wife Juliet.

The company was established in 1979 with the aim of producing marionette drama. This type of theatre requires all elements to be in accord, including the venue. In 1982, after extensive touring, the company opened a 55 seat theatre on a river barge.

The theatre is now an established venue on the London theatre scene and is based at Little Venice, London. Each year, during the summer, the floating theatre makes a tour of the river Thames. It has been open for over three decades and during that time has hosted thousands of performances.

Gren and Juliet have lived in Hackney, London since 1978.
