Director & curator Tamara Forrest-Smith here. That’s me above

I identify, develop and produce powerful stories, bringing them to new audiences.

Working alongside outstanding directors, actors and creative collaborators, we produce theatre built on powerful writing.

Powerful Theatre Begins With Powerful Original Writing

Every powerful production begins with powerful writing.

If you don't have powerful writing, you don't have powerful theatre.

Great actors matter.

Great directors matter.

Great staging matters.

But without powerful writing, there is nothing to bring to life.

That is where we begin.

A Story Your Audience Will Remember

I Am Bastard I Am War is a powerful original theatrical production exploring the devastating human cost of war through powerful writing, striking performances and a multidisciplinary approach to storytelling.

Told through six central characters, it asks timeless questions about humanity, belief, power and survival, and what we choose when choice has been taken away from us.

It is theatre designed not simply to entertain, but to stay with your audience long after the performance has ended.
