• Hosting foreign language productions.^[7]
• A platform for political theatre, most notably The Madness of George Dubya which had been rejected by almost all of London venues. Michael Billington of the Guardian remarked "The most cheering aspect of the year was the varied and rapid response to the Iraq crisis. At Theatro Technis, Justin Butcher wrote and directed The Madness of George Dubya - ignored by most critics until it transferred to the West End."^[8][9]
