Award-winning theatre and community arts run by 2 working class / LGBTQI+ artists. Making outdoor theatre, interactive installations, walkabout theatre and sound walks since 2013.
People deserve high quality arts in their lives, even if they can’t pay.
Brave Bold Drama is led by two freelance artists who are working class and LGBTQI+. We make award-winning theatre for families and for those living with dementia, and run a broad portfolio of community art projects made with and for working class communities.
Our family theatre is non-didactic and never patronises. We are not simplistic, saccharine or superficial. We believe children deserve the richness of their humanity to be reflected in their art. When devising new shows, we draw on playful audience participation, original music and song, quirky humour and bold characterisation to create multi-faceted, layered worlds that appeal just as much to adults as to children.
Much of our theatre works outside: specifically
The Munch Mission!
Sticky Ends!
The Discovery Lab
Pumpkins
Yule Be Merry
Interactive Installations include:
The Keepers (from Summer 2024)
The Company of International Artists (also our most popular walkabout act)
Sound walks, many co-created with local communities include:
Saxons to the Seventies
Extraordinary Streets: Stockwood
Extraordinary Streets: Withywood
Wild Words
