THE ACTORS OF DIONYSUS 

National & international touring theatre company, specialising in new adaptations of ancient Greek drama & new writing inspired by myth, performed in a bold, accessible & physical style. We work with many new & established artistic collaborators to create exciting & dynamic work. We also have a strong educational outreach programme of workshops, talk-backs, publications, DVDS & audio-CDs.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

  • A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers including the Government
  • The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age and gender

Financial issues to consider:

  • A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
  • Spending is declining
  • Income has been volatile and on several occasions in recent years less than spending
