Pushing the limits of independent production in Manchester.  We want to give voices to the invisible, tell great stories and dare greatly.

About Us

We value drive, passion, professionalism, hard work and strive to excel in what we love. 

Which, in its simplest form is storytelling.
​
We produce quality theatre and film, regardless of budget to our upmost capability that is both enjoyable and provoking for audiences. 

Our stories represent those who are often forgotten. We stage theatre about people and issues that are marginalised and silenced in current society. 

Their voices are strong and their stories are powerful.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat." 
- Theodore Rosevelt
