WHO WE ARE
Undone Theatre is a London-based theatre company focussing on experimenting with different forms of storytelling and undoing classical narratives.
Our work has been described as "brilliantly ambitious" (Kally Lloyd-Jones, Byre Theatre director), "leav[ing] you with a sense that those involved have plenty to offer us in the future" (Everything Theatre). We have been supported by Arts Council England, Boundless Theatre, Theatre Deli, Omnibus Theatre, VAULT Festival, and Raze Collective.
Whether it is an entirely new piece or a complete rewrite of a classical text, we create relevant new work that questions and challenges traditional forms of storytelling. We are interested in showcasing queer perspectives, non-linear narratives and stories that voice multiple viewpoints.
