It quickly became known for its free-spirited and accessible productions. The rock band The Who even performed on its stage. Dunlop later brought his innovative style to the United States. He served as the artistic director of the Brooklyn Academy of Music in New York during the 1980s. There, he continued to challenge traditional theater formats. His work left a lasting mark on both British and American theater.
