Classical plays and text for a modern generation, thoughts ideas and feelings.
Inspired by a diverse range of companies such as 'The Donmar' and 'Shared Experience' our company works in a collaborative ensemble process, by experimenting and exploring the style, text and vision we hope to produce the best in fringe work.
We offer opportunities in all aspects of theatre, so whether you want to be involved on stage or behind the scenes this is the place to be. We run productions, rehearsed readings and much,much more. Please drop us a line for further details.
