We are delighted to announce our re-launch with UP DOWN BIG MAN, a co-production with Wiltshire Creative in association with The Wardrobe Ensemble. Supported by Arts Council England National Lottery project grant funding, this is the third in a series of highly acclaimed plays featuring long term collaborator and associate artist, Nathan Bessell.
We’re back!

“It was an extraordinary privilege to welcome Up Down Boy to the National Theatre. It was written, acted and directed with the kind of flair and integrity that you only find in the best theatre; and it brought an audience to the National that we’d like to see much more of.”
- Sir Nicholas Hytner
Groundbreaking theatre influenced by diverse voices.

“It is rare that a piece of theatre moves, amuses and challenges in equal measure. Myrtle Theatre manages all three in a seemingly effortless blend of stark realism, modern myth and musical theatre.“
