Background:

With backgrounds in new-writing and physical theatre, company members have trained and worked with renowned theatre-makers including Paines Plough, The National Theatre of Scotland, Frantic Assembly, Blind Summit, Punchdrunk and Gardzienice.

Policy:

We strive to produce cutting edge theatre by putting our own stamp on traditional theatre forms and celebrate the live and communal aspects of performance. Championing ensemble acting with equal emphasis on text, movement and musicality, Rough Fiction’s work can be like going to a gig, viewing a painting and reading a much loved book all rolled into one.

‘Highly recommended … the deconstructive flair of The Wooster Group playing Pirandello.’ Metro

We are Associate Artists at The Point, Eastleigh and supported by The National Lottery through Arts Council England. Thank you also to Gregory Nash for his ongoing support.
