ARTISTIC POLICY
Headlong Theatre is dedicated to new ways of making theatre. By exploring revolutionary writers and practitioners of the past and commissioning new work from artists from a wide variety of backgrounds, we constantly aim to push the imaginative boundaries of the stage. Headlong makes exhilarating, provocative and spectacular new work to take around the country and around the world.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘The country’s most exciting touring theatre company.’ Daily Telegraph

‘An exhilarating mix of political satire, modern morality and multimedia spectacle.’ The Guardian ()

‘Rupert Goold works his illuminating magic. Seriously thrilling… an astonishing night.’ Evening Standard ()

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
Based on real-life events and using music, dance and video, Enron explores one of the most infamous scandals in financial history. (2 hours 45 mins including interval, 15 on stage, 20 on the road.)

A radical re-imagining of Pirandello’s classic. This stunning play is a parable for a media obsessed age and an exploration of how we define ourselves in the 21st century. (2 hours 20 mins including interval, 11 on stage, 16 on the road.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
This is a dazzling, shocking piece of story-telling from one of the greatest writers of the last 200 years. Headlong is proud to present a vivid contemporary production of this rarely-seen masterpiece by Oscar Wilde.

Responding to Swift’s original and filtering the ambition of the novel through the lens of contemporary culture, Headlong create a satiric exploration of identity, sanity and international relations.

WRAP-AROUND
The company offers post-show talks and workshops alongside all productions, which can be tailor-made to suit a particular audience.
