Mission Statement
To breathe new life into the themes of
Gothic Literature
as a non-traditional theatre company in
unique venues and places of interest.
Values
Although a lot of our inspiration may come from historical work, we do not use that as an excuse to stay in historical values. We champion stories and casting from all demographics and want to create a safe community for all to feel welcome and valued.
Progression
Most of our work is devised and highly character driven. As such we really value each company member and performers input, life experience, and open heartedness to bring these stories to life.
Collaboration
Innovation
You will not find anyone with more respect for the original text that us. However, in our storytelling we pick themes and characters that have something particular to say and expand on that, turning the text on its head and bringing something new, exciting, and relevant to a modern audience. The venues we choose are another character in our shows, bringing an immersive quality to the subject matter. We are constantly playing with the way we perform shows, challenging the traditional theatre experience.
Gothic
Although we may play around and experiment in our storytelling, our work will always be related to the themes in Gothic Fiction. The motifs of the genre are great tools for us to heighten our thoughts and feelings on various subjects and something we will always feel connected too.
“There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy”
— Hamlet, William Shakespeare
Vision
In the next three years we plan to become an award-winning company as the leaders in Gothic storytelling. Creating high quality, character driven productions both in London and touring regionally and abroad. We want to bring together a community of artists and audience members alike to share in our love of the genre and create dark but beautiful worlds together.
