What to expect:

1. Reading of TWO new plays
a. Spring Equinox by Judit Hollos

After years of healing from a life-shattering trauma, a budding immigrant student at a remote boarding school starts to suspect that one of his classmates is not who he claims to be.

b. Art DECO by Justyn Cooper

Izzy is a provocative comic book artist. On his return from the second world war he finds he's studio in trouble as his partner Moishe has transformed it into a vehicle for chasing trends. And his life in jeopardy as henchmen and the dregs of the New York fascist movement find their way to his door.

2. Discussions on diversity and inclusion in modern Britain.

We are currently looking to speak to creatives who understand the challenges of what it means to be "the other".

If you are a writer, director, designer, performer or other creative who is looking for opportunities, sign-up to 'The Other Theatre Company' and we will reach out to you to see if we can help.

Having just spent the summer performing 'This Is Not Medea' and developing a strategy for future funding, we are now seeking exciting and interesting individuals from diverse backgrounds to join us. We are expecting to begin working on our second production in 2025 and in the meantime we are looking to do some networking sessions (in Birmingham and online), plus we are looking at recording some radio plays to help writers get their work out there.

If any of this sounds like something you'd like to be involved in... click the link below! 🎭

New theatre company created in the Midlands explores the depths of what it means to be 'the other' through a necessary exploration of identity. We are particularly interested in giving voice to marginalised communities.
