Welcome to Theatre North

Theatre North is a professional touring company currently based in the South East. Founded in Yorkshire in 2001 the company has mounted more than 30 productions  which have toured nationally and internationally. More recently the company has specialised in work with a gay sub text – both for gay and straight audiences – producing  Naked Homo, Billy Budd Sailor, winner of Star of the Brighton Festival 2011 and  Handel’s Cross. 2012/13 saw us tour three shows nationally,  residencies at The Basement, Brighton and The Point Eastleigh and a  commission from the Brighton Festival. We also strengthened our relationship with Birkbeck University where we have recently performed in their Arts Week for the fourth year running, with the first showing of our new piece  Mirando a queer imagining of Shakespeare’s Tempest. Following ACE funding for R&D we have given showings of Mirando in London and Brighton and five performances in the moonlight in Sitges, Barcelona.
