Stunning Aerial Theatre for International Touring Based in Birmingham UK.

RoguePlay is a UK-based highly physical theatre company, creating a unique style of narrative theatre using aerial and ground-based circus, dance and spoken word. We produce both large-scale outdoor family-friendly spectacles and intimate autobiographical indoor shows centred around talking openly about difficult subjects and empowering women.

Touring internationally, RoguePlay has an impressive 10-year history of inspiring people to embrace new experiences and challenge conventions. The distinctive creative tension that shapes the artistic focus courageously tackles difficult personal themes, which empower women and promote social and environmental change. A passion for authenticity and innovative storytelling creates more opportunities for learning, sharing joy and celebrating solidarity.

In 2009, Kim Charnock and Lorna Meehan established RoguePlay, and together have spent eleven years developing the company from a small two-hander into a thriving touring organisation. Working internationally, RoguePlay has an impressive history of touring shows and collaborations with companies such as Nofit State, Panasonic and Gravity & Levity.

 Our trademark highly physical theatre style ultimately inspires excitement and passion about the world, encouraging everyone to unlock their potential to be healthier, happier and more creative.

‘Taking Flight is a brave, experimental piece that tries to take a visual art form and make it accessible to the visually impaired. Its ambition is admirable, daring to take on a task that very few others have attempted.’ Dea Birkett, Circus 250 ‘An unforgettable display of breath-taking aerial stunts and emotion-invoking theatrics.’ Rico Johnson Sinclair ‘I came, I saw and I was conquered by the sheer beauty of movement from all five performers, fully trained to express deepest feeling and symbolism through their agile bodies.’  Remote Goat

NOW TOURING SUMMER 2023 – “FORESTS”

A willow tree, fiery acrobatics and dance feature in this highly-visual family-friendly show.

Forests packs a powerful punch, challenging forestry practices, our over-consumption of timber, the destruction of rainforests, and the displacement of indigenous peoples. Performers climb and manipulate the tree, the acrobatic dance sees them throwing, clambering and trampling one another, whilst ropes entangle and bind, before the tree is finally felled amid an explosion of tree-less origami birds.
