Vision

A different view of the world through theatre

Theatre can be a source of meaning and inspiration through lessons, projects and educational programmes. This is crucial, as theatre offers both young and old a chance to view the world from a different perspective. Theatre appeals to multiple senses simultaneously and at different levels of thought and emotion. Theatre is emotion unleashed, but is also rational. It is entertainment, but good theatre also provides food for thought. Theatre allows us to view society critically, but also brings recognition to disadvantaged or misunderstood groups in society. In short, it is a noble profession!
