“… a roller-coaster ride - a riveting piece of theatre from director Steve Davis and his team. The phrase “cutting-edge” is much overused today, and you’d hardly expect it to be used in a play for schoolkids, but if ever there was an apt description…
Inspired by a broad and diverse range of material we hope that our work informs, inspires and provokes our audiences, offering a fresh and bold re-imagination of some of the greatest works ever written.
Classical plays and text for a modern generation, thoughts ideas and feelings.
A Theatre Company combining adaptation of classic plays with new writing and techniques to find new ways to explore the questions raised by how we live today.

- What I do... (Actor, director, designer, teacher etc?)
- Creating Quality Theatre
Formed in 1979 and based at Coleg Morgannwg in the world famous Rhondda Valley, we create Quality Theatre for Schools, Communities and Theatre Venues throughout Wales and further afield.
Central to our artistic vision is the belief that:
Young people have cultural entitlements equal to that of any adult.
People have the entitlement to access Theatre within their own community.
People are entitled to Theatre Arts of the highest quality, irrespective of socio-economic, educational or geographical barriers.
WHO WE ARE
Spectacle Theatre employs experienced professional Theatre practitioners to create Theatre that recognises the social, educational and cultural development of our audience.
We set standards and explore innovative ways to deliver a professional Theatre provision for young people and the wider community.
We create Theatre in both English and Welsh that is engaging, challenging and enjoyable.
WHAT WE DO
Our Artistic Policy is to:
Create a high quality, meaningful Theatre Arts experience for our audience.
Create programmes that encourage participation and appreciation of the Theatre Arts.
Recognise Theatre Arts experience as being public and private, immediate and reflective.
Create work that is for, with and about our audiences.
Ensure that our work is both inclusive and accessible.
Our Educational Policy is to:
Design programmes where form and content are appropriate to the developmental levels of children and the wider community.
Commission New Writing – which is central to the process of creating new work for our audience.
Maintain charges at an affordable level in order to increase access.
Spectacle is always glad to hear from individuals and companies interested in sponsoring or supporting its work.
In 1998, Spectacle Theatre was the first professional Theatre Company in Wales to achieve the Investors In People (IIP) Standard.
The Company has been successful in maintaining this Standard, and places a high priority on continued training for all staff members.
WHERE WE DO IT
We are based at Coleg Morgannwg in the South Wales Valleys.
We work in an area that is recognised as having a complex and widespread pattern of highly deprived communities.
We believe the Theatre Arts have a key role to play in empowering communities and individuals in the regeneration process, and we reach out to young people and communities that are socio-economically disadvantaged.
We provide touring Theatre In Education (TIE) programmes in the County Borough Councils of:
Rhondda Cynon Tâf
Bridgend
Merthyr
Caerphilly
We create small and middle-scale Community touring productions for:
Community Halls
Theatre Venues
Youth Clubs
We tour our productions throughout the year.

- Hi Spectacle, I worked in theatre for young people for a long time and many of my friends work in the sector; I think your aims and work sound great. I respect this sort of work highly and always used to feel frustrated that it was seen separately by so many actors who didn't appreciate how much skill it takes to do it well. All the best. Suzy
