TRAVELEX RENEWS SPONSORSHIP OF £10 SEASON FOR THREE MORE YEARS

Travelex, the world's largest foreign exchange specialist, has renewed its sponsorship of the £10 Season for a further three years from 2006. Two thirds of the seats will again be £10 (the rest are £27.50). The partnership between Travelex and the National Theatre began in 2003 and over the past three years has attracted 660,000 people, of whom 155,000 have been first-time attenders at the National.

Lloyd Dorfman, Executive Chairman, Travelex said: "I am delighted to announce the renewal of our sponsorship of the Travelex £10 Season. The scheme has successfully attracted many newcomers to the National by offering world class theatre at an unbelievable price. This initiative is closely aligned to the Travelex business, sharing our brand values of innovation, value and service which is why the decision to extend the partnership for another three years was an easy one to make."

Nicholas Hytner said: “I am delighted that Travelex will continue their generous collaboration with us. The Travelex £10 Season has become an established beacon for thousands of theatregoers, both newcomers and regulars, and it's great that we can continue to create theatre that is affordable, contemporary and accessible.”
