Strange Theatre

Strange Theatre is a new theatre and film company. We create challenging and uplifting productions to bring people together, promote dialogue and contribute towards positive social change. Our productions include live theatre events, film, interactive issue based drama workshops, and skills development groups for emerging artists. We have a particular interest in promoting gender equality through our work.

Our name embodies how we work - ‘Theatre’ for us is a metaphor for performance in all its forms, be it film, live theatre, interactive workshops, clowning or art. ‘Strange’ relates to the distancing or ‘Making Strange’ effect of theatre, distorting reality to activate audiences’ political engagement with hidden and overt injustices that have become unchallenged norms in society. Transforming the attitude of the audience from general passive acceptance to a state of suspicious inquiry, theatre and film have the ability to ‘make the familiar strange’, inspire action, and support change.
