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 , 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 ()

‘“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
