Bold writing from the West Midlands’ leading writers’ collective
Coming Soon
We’re exploring Birmingham’s Jewellery Quarter, seeking out intriguing stories, unusual locations and entertaining characters for a brand new show his September.
Presented as part of the Birmingham 2022 Festival and Birmingham Heritage Week. Supported by Arts Council England and the Sir Barry Jackson Trust.
Thrive with Arts Connect
Arts Connect works to ensure that every child and young person in the West Midlands is able to benefit from engagement with the arts.
They recently awarded us a bursary to explore how 14-25 year-olds engage with short-form digital content and how this can be applied to attracting younger audiences to the theatre.
Past Shows
Over 20 evenings of new plays at The Rep, a promenade show set in a Victorian prison that was so popular people actually wanted to go back to jail, a theatrical walking tour of Digbeth revealing our most private memories, and a garden party with the ‘lunaticks’ of Soho House…
For eight busy working writers, we’ve done a lot since we started working together.
“Thoughtful, sensitive, witty, and engaging. My kind of theatre.”
