AlternativeTheatre
AlternativeTheatre seeks to engage and move people through
its unconventional approach to theatre.
Our goal is to produce theatre that pulsates with both passion and authenticity,
delving into the depths of the human condition.

"Good Theatre, we believe, can only be delivered if we first listen, and listen very hard at that, to the beat that is inherent in the writing;
for it is this pulse that drives the rest of the work
- acting, direction, design, music, scenery, in fact, everything we do. It is the energy that flows from this that the audience should feel, for touching the hearts and minds of the audience is what it's all about."
​
All our work to date starts with theatre plays, theatre is very much our engine room.

​
“Theatre” is a great label for what we do. But with all labels come restrictions
and limitations, and boxes in which we feel we may be put.
So let us explain. Yes, we have created theatre
productions and performed plays in theatres
across the country, and we continue to do
work that we would class as “theatre”.
But we believe that theatre is so much more than just a building. Theatre is a feeling; theatre is an exploration of what makes us tick…it is great storytelling; it is inherently human. People have been creating theatre for far longer than theatre has been a word, let alone a concept.
We wish that we could replace the word “theatre” with something more fitting - something that doesn’t emphasize the conventional actor/writer/director, performers/audience/theatre structures that have ruled the arts for so many centuries. We could use “creativity”, perhaps, but we don’t think that this encompasses everything that theatre means, everything that theatre is.
So, we’ll stick with “theatre”, and call ourselves AlternativeTheatre, whilst we continue to look for and explore new and different ways to operate.
We’ve worked for over 20 years on our alternative theatre – an alternative approach to theatre, or even an alternative to traditional theatre itself –
and we’ll continue to adapt, create, and develop as the
world continues to change around us.
