ABOUT US

 

 

 

 

 

 Fast becoming one of the UK's brightest new writing companies, Casbah Theatre’s mission is to create and perform 

 narrative based work with a core Casbah team and tour it to both national and international audiences.

 

 Casbah commissions, produces and tours new plays which are bold, uncompromising and contemporary. It has a 

 diverse artistic policy that includes new writing and small scale musical theatre. Casbah's work delivers a hard edged 

 aesthetic that is founded on a strong and heightened narrative.

 

 Casbah Theatre’s purpose is to ‘fire the imagination’ of its audiences by creating unforgettable indoor and outdoor 

 theatre which explores storytelling through language, visual imagery, physicality, music, design and new

 writing, and which challenges the barriers of convention whilst remaining ible to audiences of all ages and

 backgrounds. Ultimately, we aim to give to our audience a total theatre experience that is exciting, compelling and 

 entertaining.
