	2009
	The company began the year as proud recipients of the Fringe Report Award for Best Encouragers of Talent. God Lost, a double bill of darkly comic plays by Mark Brown and Mike Shephard sold-out the Etcetera Theatre as part of the Camden Fringe and further festival and internet radio performances extended the company's reach beyond the North London fringe.
	2008
	Ten in a Bed entered its fifth anniversary year looking to further succeed and expand, building upon New Writing Sunday which continued to encourage accessibility and interest in theatre throughout London. Ordinary Dreams by Marcus Markou premiered at New Writing Sunday at went on to run at the Trafalgar Studios while others events included an Election Special and another sell-out Christmas show.
	2007
	March saw the first full production of The Citadel by Matthew Bartlett at the Space and the Clerkenwell Theatre. In April the company produced Being God's Probation Officer by Mike Shephard at the Tabard Theatre. New Writing Sunday premiered more than twenty new scripts and launched the Comedy Toboggan sketch writing competition which culminated in the record audience of our Christmas Special.
	2006
	Preparations began for a production of The Citadel by Matthew Bartlett, with showcase previews at The Clerkenwell Theatre New Writing Week and the Cockpit Theatre in Westminster. In July the company launched New Writing Sunday, a regular new writing event at the Clerkenwell Theatre in association with Big Wheel Theatre and the Exmouth Market Centre. Working closely with writers, we aimed to give them the opportunity to receive valuable feedback and to become involved in the rehearsal process.
	2005
	Tom Stoppard's Dogg's Hamlet, Cahoot's Macbeth was produced at the Edinburgh fringe. A very successful production, it played to packed houses at Zoo Venues and saw members working with new talent drawn from outside the company for the first time.
	2004
	August saw our revival of Howard Brenton's Magnificence at the Edinburgh fringe, in its first production since 1973. In the October of 2004 Magnificence successfully transferred to The Greenwood Theatre on the South Bank. In the December of this year company members approached Jacobean comedy with a production of John Fletcher's The Woman's Prize.
	2003
	Ten in a Bed Theatre Company was formed following a production of Harold Pinter's Party Time and Mountain Language at the Edinburgh fringe festival.
