We are a collective of international artists who explore Shakespeare’s rehearsal & performance practices.

What we do

A travelling Ensemble, we seek to engage with communities around the world.
As we tour, we tailor our playful work to our environment, our audience, & each other.
Using methods from Shakespeare’s time, we raise our shows to a professional standard in 3-5 days.
