History.
How we came about.
In typical theatre company tradition we met at university studying acting. Post pandemic we reconnected looking to develop a passion project to spark our creativity. We both shared an enthusiasm for people, sharing their stories and (trying our best) to give a voice to those who do not feel heard. This led us to forming 'Outsider Theatre'. For the past two years we have been developing our first project 'Don't Be A Stranger', an intimate and interactive verbatim short film about the effects of social isolation, loneliness, and mental health within the UK.
