About us
Our shows tour across the UK. They are always powerful, bold and accessible. They amplify the stories of those who often go unheard or easily slip through the cracks in society. We collaborate with a range of communities who do not always see the arts as for them: empowering them to tell their own stories through different artistic means. Our community projects connect closely with our productions; everything we do is driven by the desire to foster creative ambition, develop new talent, and platform under-represented voices.
