ARTISTIC POLICY
Unlimited creates new work through collaborative writing processes. Working together since 1997, the core artists have developed a reputation for making consistently impressive work that is ‘scared of neither the intellectual nor the emotional’ (The Guardian). With an increasing pool of associate artists, scientists and alternative reality game-makers, Unlimited create inspiring experiences that take place in theatres, on the streets and online.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
‘The excellent Unlimited Theatre… a company that has always combined infinite thoughtfulness with theatrical flair.’ The Guardian ()

‘I went into this production with a heavy heart thinking the subject would be over my head. I came out wanting to change the world. Brilliant.’ The Guardian ()

‘The gifted Unlimited Theatre.’ The Scotsman

CURRENT PRODUCTIONS
A mind-melting, whistlestop tour of leading edge quantum physics. Suitable for theatres, schools and particle accelerators. (60 mins plus 30 mins question and answer, 1 on stage, 2 on the road.)

A theatre piece/guided tour that takes place on the streets, in the shop windows, the public gardens, benches and fountains of Your City Centre. Works with local performers. (60 mins.)

FUTURE PRODUCTIONS
a new play for children (7–11) about the universe, the Big Bang, particle physics, and seeing that from a child's perspective. A show about big things and very small things. About matter, and things that matter. Commissioned by Polka Theatre for September 2010.

WRAP-AROUND
Unlimited underpins its core artistic programme with a dedicated programme of wrap-around activity that is tailored for the audiences and participants that the company’s partners most want to target. The company has run workshops, courses and residencies with school and college students, theatre professionals, business organisations, journalists, soldiers and passers by across the world.
