Alvaro's Balcony was first workshopped in November 2007, immediately followed by a public rehearsed reading at Her Majesty's Theatre in London's West End.

Presented by Mercury Musical Developments, sponsored by The Noel Coward Foundation and with additional support from Really Useful Theatres, the exceptional cast included Susannah York, Norman Bowman, Edward Petherbridge, Beverley Klein and Andrew C Wadsworth.
