Since leaving Shakespeare's Globe, Dromgoole has set up Open Palm films, for which he directed "Making Noise Quietly" by Robert Holman and produced four further films "Benjamin" written and directed by Simon Amstell, "Pond Life", "Undercliffe" and "The Man In The Hat". Dromgoole also founded the Classic Spring theatre company, which presented a season of Oscar Wilde plays at The Vaudeville Theatre, where he directed "A Woman of No Importance" in 2017. In 2019 Classic Spring announced that Dromgoole would be adapting and directing a double bill production of Frankenstein and Dracula at the Hackney Empire in 2020.
