With The Community

For us, working with the community isn’t just an add-on thing we do to show we care. It’s the heart behind our work that fuels everything we do.

Whether we’re performing Shakespeare or developing new writing, we are always finding ways of engaging and involving youth groups, schools and hard to reach audiences who wouldn’t normally experience the arts.

We create new plays and films by working alongside all sorts of people. We’ve developed projects with prison inmates, young people in care, single parents and members of drug rehabilitation projects. Whatever we do, we aim to give these people a voice through new work and a chance to experience high quality art without barriers, without prejudice and without patronizing them.

Once we’ve created this work we want to get it seen. To challenge thinking, to encourage debate and to raise the expectations and ambitions that we have of ourselves and those around us.
