ARTISTIC POLICY
The aim is to present vivid, imaginative theatrical experiences in places where they are expected least to the widest range of audiences possible. The shows take a variety of forms – static shows for larger audiences and short, intimate theatre installations for smaller audiences.
REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘The Whalley Range All Stars offered Brain Wave, an astonishing garden shed that opens out to become a giant head full of dreams and longings.’ Joyce MacMillan, The Scotsman
‘It really was a treat having you in Serpa. We thought the show was very good – imaginative, funny and very entertaining. Thanks.’ Lidia Saragaco, Camara Municipal de Serpa, Portugal (Pig)
‘“I have never seen such a theatre” was six-year-old Lea’s conclusion. “Until now, I’ve always just been to big theatres. But it was so much funnier to see the actors inside a pig.”’ Mainzer Rhein-Zeitung, Germany
