We liberate theatre from traditional performance spaces.
We liberate traditional spaces from audience expectations.
We adapt classic tales in immersive, accessible ways.
We make work for those who crave reconnection.
Based in Exeter and East Devon, we are one of the South West’s leading immersive theatre companies.
And the weirdest.
We specialise in bombastic, ritualistic adaptations of classic stories, performed in unique spaces such as Medieval priories, labyrinthine caves, derelict stately homes and empty industrial compounds.
Alongside our public shows, we create a host of vibrant creative participation and education opportunities for communities, young people and early career artists.
Theatre can happen anywhere.
“It was one of those ‘Do you remember when…’ nights that will be recalled in conversation for years to come.”
