The Open Space Theatre was created by Charles Marowitz and Thelma Holt in 1968.[1] It began in a basement on

Shakespeare's 'Hamlet' at the Open Space Theatre at Tottenham Court Road in July 1969.[2]
The company operated until around 1980.[3]

Jinnie Schiele's book (University of Hertfordshire Press, 2006) relates the history of the Open Space with that of Holt's later venue, the Roundhouse.[4]
