Barefaced Theatre

 

Fresh new work, from fresh new faces.

​

Barefaced Theatre’s mission is bringing bold new work and fresh new talent to a wide range of diverse audiences across the UK. Our focus is strong storytelling, strong physicality and strong women’s roles – both on and off stage. We create multi-platform productions that we believe produce truthful and full-throttle theatrical experiences that provoke and engage our audiences.  Alongside all our productions, we offer a wide range of outreach workshops that carry one central goal – to empower by unleashing creativity.

​

We have a strong record of accomplishment of producing an eclectic mix of both devised and contemporary new writing. 

 

Last June 2018, Shadow Kingdoms, completed a successful two week run at Theatre503, 2015 & 2016 saw one-woman show LARP tour a variety of London and regional venues. In 2012 our very first repertory season, A Significant Role featured 3 new, devised plays: Mad Women, Whore & All Hidden, and staged at a digital multiplex cinema in Notting Hill. 

 

In 2011 for Murray Gold's play Electricity, we took over a vacant Doctor’s surgery in Pimlico. 2011, also saw us devise Les Joueurs Mystérieux; The Mysterious Players, a musical revue especially for the Earls Court Festival, staged in the atmospheric surroundings of Brompton Cemetery. And in 2011 we used a Gallery in Shoreditch for our sold-out political satire Candidates for Change: The Road to Con-Dem-Nation written by political speech writer Stuart Barrow, segments of which BBC Wales recorded during the 2011 election.

​

In 2010 our four hander, devised, immersive show Whore, was originally performed at the weird and wonderful Resistance venue in Bethnal Green an S&M nightclub/prime wrestling spot, Amazingly in 2010, it also saw us transform an empty shop in Brixton Market into a nail-salon for the site-specific production Hard as Nails and stage Measure for Measure in the Crypt in St Andrews Church, Holborn, on Shakespeare’s birthday.
