Foul Play is dedicated to examining classic works, spanning from ancient mythology to 19th Century literature. We aim to interrogate and reimagine these texts through a prism of modern feminism, to create work that is ambitious and experimental in both content and form.

 

We have a number of guiding principles that we implement throughout our work. We are committed to:

• Feminism: female voices, experiences and stories are at the heart of every work

• Championing cultural diversity

• Staging our productions in non-traditional theatre settings

• Exploring male vulnerability

• Creating works with as little carbon footprint as possible to combat anthropogenic climate change.
