We connect communities around the UK producing original interpretations of classic plays in transformative ways.
Productions
Our touring theatre productions rejuvenate classic texts – combining Western theatre with the township-style of Southern Africa.
Woven

KUKURA is an inclusivity development programme. It enables organisations to take meaningful steps to improve racial representation. As a result, they commit to changing their working culture for good.
Tangle needs your help.
Without your support we can't create as much new African-Caribbean theatre for the UK or provide so many opportunities for artists. We're currently working on revolutionary projects which transform classics in surprising ways. We continue to deliver career-changing mentoring for new generations of exceptional talent. We are making a difference but we're held back by financial constraints.
