COMPANY INFO:
Sponsorship Opportunities
|
Claire Moore and John Woudberg established the company in 1989, in the belief that, at any one time, there are already more than enough companies presenting established plays. Whilst many of these plays have been a great source of inspiration to us, we believe that new writing is the lifeblood of theatre and needs to be encouraged and supported. New writing is all we want to produce. Although we have written and produced many issue-based plays, we firmly believe that any play should be able to stand on its own merits - as a play. Regardless of the issues it addresses any new play should bear all the hallmarks of good drama, strong characterisation, plot and a good storyline - and above all - be entertaining!
We aim to take the harsh, raw elements of life and language, mix them with a startling lyrical flavour and add a touch of attitude, to create something new, edgy and hopefully daring and dangerous - to give people what they don't expect!. We seek to reclaim verse-forms from perceptions of middle-class elitism. We are a not-for-profit company limited by guarantee and operate without any revenue funding. Much of the company's work is a result of recommendation from previous successes If you would like to support the company in any way please contact us. |
"80 minutes of superb acting, superb staging and direction...the standing ovation received at the end was well deserved" Cllr. Albert Richardson, Preston - 'The Ballad of Andrew Ryding'
"Certain Curtain Theatre play a blinder...You simply shouldn't miss this sparkler"
"An Excellent production. Puts the message across in an original way. This makes it so refreshing, and keeps the audience interested. Would strongly recommend others to see and experience it" |
