Creative, challenging, captivating theatre
About us
That’s been our aim for more than thirty years and in that time we’ve gained an outstanding reputation for dynamic and adventurous productions. From imaginative reworking of classic drama to compelling new writing, we’re not afraid of being a little different!
We pride ourselves on being a community focused company, producing exceptionally high-standard productions.
We’ve been based at Bedford’s The Place Theatre since it opened in 2002 but have also taken productions to Brussels, Bamberg and London.
Recent productions have included Handbagged, The Deep Blue Sea and A Day in the Death of Joe Egg.
We are also thrilled to have started a tradition of producing an Outdoor Shakespeare at the start of the Summer – with productions including A Comedy of Errors (2023), Twelfth Night (2022) and The Tempest (2021)
