The Classic Theatre Project
We are a Northern England-based company that brings you powerful, intimate, definitive productions of classic plays
Our mission
Classic plays and hidden masterpieces. Up close.
Our Mission and Values
Inspired by the purity and intensity of Greek theatre, we create communal experiences that awaken and transform the audience, and develop the artistry of the actor. Through our devotion to the power of the text, artistic excellence and intimate staging, we exhilarate audiences with definitive productions of classical stage works that remind us of the delicacy, exquisiteness and dignity of the human experience.
What... no smoke machines?
We believe in creating theatre in its purest form: stripped back and intimate so that we can explore the beauty and power of outstanding writing, shared with quality, crafted performances in a way that our guests can enjoy the communal experience of coming into the circle with us, and leave forever changed.
How do I get involved?
