We champion stories and casting from all demographicsand want to create a safe community for all to feel welcome and valued.CollaborationMost of our work is devised and highly character driven. As such we really value eachcompany member and performers input, life experience, and open heartedness to bringthese stories to life.InnovationYou will not find anyone with more respect for the original text that us. However, in ourstorytelling we pick themes and characters that have something particular to say and expandon that, turning the text on its head and bringing something new, exciting, and relevant to amodern audience. The venues we choose are another character in our shows, bringing animmersive quality to the subject matter. We are constantly playing with the way we performshows, challenging the traditional theatre experience.GothicAlthough we may play around and experiment in our storytelling, our work will always berelated to the themes in Gothic Fiction. The motifs of the genre are great tools for us toheighten our thoughts and feelings on various subjects and something we will always feelconnected too.
