Blackeyed Theatre

Blackeyed Theatre "one of the most innovative and critically acclaimed theatre companies on the touring circuit today" The Stage

Blackeyed Theatre is one of the UK’s leading touring theatre companies, with over twelve years experience of bringing exciting, high quality work to over a hundred towns and cities across the UK and beyond. There are two common misconceptions in the world of theatre: firstly that work that’s commercially successful can’t be ground-breaking, unconventional or brave; and conversely that work that is

ground-breaking, unconventional or brave can’t also be commercially successful, even self-funding. Our belief is that theatre can and should be sustainable, both commercially and artistically. What that means in practice is performing work that people want to see in ways that can still surprise, provoke and inspire. That means remembering what it is to be an artist, what it is to create and not being dependent on public money to do so. So at a time when the choice of theatre being offered to audiences and venues is increasingly narrow, we commit to continue offering exciting, affordable work that attracts a wide audience while creating a theatrical experience that entertains, provokes and inspires in equal measure.
