The Gold Chainers Youth Theatre

The Gold Chainers Young Company


Our inclusive Youth Theatre, The Gold Chainers, is a remarkable group of young people with learning disabilities.

This work drives innovation in accessible theatre by empowering them to take the lead creatively. Belonging to such an inclusive company such as the Gold Chainers challenges the social barriers for disabled young people to access the arts and preconceptions of what they can achieve. Our weekly workshops use drama, art, music and dance to develop their social and communication skills, as well as increasing their confidence to achieve their aspirations or go on access further education or training.

As keen film makers, the Gold Chainer’s took their amazing green screen film MIDAS to the Big Trouble Little Pictures Film Festival in Cambridge, as well as performing at the opening of the prestigious High Tide Festival in Aldeburgh.

The company have just performed ESH AND THE MOON AND THE STARS, their brand new play funded by Arts Council England

The Gold Chainers meet weekly on Thursdays evenings. If you are interested in joining and want to find out more, email rei@redrosechain.com 





PREVIOUS PRODUCTIONS


ESH AND THE MOON AND THE STARS

A new play by The Gold Chainers


This remarkable group of young learning disabled actors have worked for over a year with professional practitioners to create ESH AND THE MOON AND THE STARS

This production in February 2025 followed the company’s previous success The Nightingale. The project was funded by Arts Council England, supporting our community programme that transforms the lives, skills and aspirations of young people with disabilities. The show was extraordinary in showing the skills and personalities of every participant, showing what disabled young creatives can and do achieve.
