Who We Are

The Company
And How We Do Shakespeare

Shakespeare in a new light

Human Stories for Human Beings

Our Shakespeare is unexpected. Our Shakespeare is intimate. Our Shakespeare aims to reflect the values of our current time and our current audience members.

We make no assumptions about the vessel that contains and communications our characters or their relationships - all emotions and motives are human. And our productions display exactly that: human stories for human beings.
