THE OTHER WAY WORKS

The Other Way Works creates playful theatre that immerses our audiences in the story. The intimate scenarios we create allow our audiences to explore places and perspectives anew, provoking them to change the way they live their lives. We work in the performing arts sector at the forefront of theatrical innovation with our own distinctive approach to creating and presenting theatre.

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

On several occasions in recent years income has been less than spending
