ARTISTIC POLICY
Bootworks Theatre Collective (B.T.C.) is a multi-disciplined group of artists committed to making high-quality, original, innovative and accessible theatre and performance.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘A clever little show that is an intimate, scary experience for an audience of one and simultaneously a spectacle for many.’ The Guardian ()

‘Bootworks Theatre was one of the great pleasures of this year's Latitude Festival... a delicious performance.’ The Guardian ()

‘Salvador Dali and Luis Bunuel would have approved… an enjoyably frantic five-minute surrealist peep-show.’ **** The Irish Times ()

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Sit inside the box and experience a terrifying nightmare from your intimate perspective. Like an old fairground ghost train, will have you clinging to your seat with dread. Outside the box, watch as the performers dart, creep and shift into position bringing the sinister tale and disturbing images to life. (1 audience member inside box every 5 mins, average of 50 audience outside box, for ages 14+.)

A surreal reworking of Dali and Bunuel's masterpiece , an eyeball slicing, horse-dragging treat. (Audience numbers as above.)

A parody and homage to ‘the Western' in all its forms, bringing together the spaghetti classics of Sergio Leone with a hint of the modern epics. (Audience numbers as above.)

WRAP-AROUND
A core part of the company’s work is focused on workshops, projects and activities that benefit the community. This includes especially designed workshops for practitioners, teachers and students aged 14+, and training and skills projects for young people.
