en masse theatre

Founded in 2003, en masse is an ensemble based touring theatre company producing work for audiences of all ages across the UK. en masse specialise in creating theatre for young people and their families.

“one of the country's most exciting theatre companies making work for younger audiences” The Guardian

We want to create work which is a rollercoaster ride, both to watch and perform. We believe that an audience should be taken on a wild journey through their emotions, be hurtled through ideas and not be preached at. If our shows happen to be educational, we are careful not to show it; theatre should be alive and relentless, providing learning through enjoyment and wonder. We use no tricks in creating exciting children's theatre - there is only the raw passion for telling the story in the most beautiful or devastating or imaginative way we can think of.

So far we have won two Fringe First Awards, been shortlisted for the Brian Way Award 2007, performed at three sell-out Edinburgh Festivals, completed four extensive UK tours, and played to audiences at venues in Poland and Malaysia.
