About us

Claire Moore and John Woudberg, co-founded Certain Curtain Theatre Company, a professional touring theatre company specialsing in new writing, in May 1989.

We are Certain Curtain Theatre Company

Creating Dyamic Original Theatre Since 1989

Renowned for tackling sensitive and controversial subjects with dynamic originality. Certain Curtain Theatre has been at the forefront of domestic abuse drama since 1995.

We have created a unique brand of theatre. Writing and producing only original work – 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, daring and dangerous. To give people what they don’t expect!

 

not for profit

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.

Originality From the Page to The Stage

Using dynamic original theatre we seek to create works of art that are at once –

dark,

beautiful –

and human. 

We aim to engage our audiences from start to finish; to explore our shared humanity,

confront our own prejudices and see things differently.

The production was brilliant, had everything, every relevant issue, so powerful and really very thought-provoking. I was so moved I couldn’t ask any questions afterwards!.”
