Mixing live action, puppetry and music to make theatre that ignites the imagination of our audiences.
RAGNAROK IS BACK FOR ONE NIGHT ONLY ⚡️
Our multi-award winning production Ragnarok arrives for a single, unmissable performance next month.
A collision of ancient myth and modern spectacle, Ragnarok takes its inspiration from Norse mythology’s cyclical tale of the same name. It is a story about fate and determination, mortals and gods, the world’s end and its rebirth.
📍 Capital Theatres Studio, Edinburgh
🗓 23 May
⏰ 7:30pm
🎟 General sale begins 6 May
We are out with our new performance piece which is an intimate performance for 1-5 people at a time.
It is the story of a life all contained within a bespoke made writing desk. It’s portable and therefore accessible with an aim of reaching individuals and groups who otherwise wouldn’t have the opportunity for performance arts experiences.
It’s part of a wider research project on how to make the arts accessible and is on tour in Edinburgh and Dumfries & Galloway throughout March.
If you want to know more about the project or have a group who would benefit please get in touch.

We’ve had a great start to the week with the local schools coming along to meet Una ❄️
We also invited them to take part in a workshop to make their own Una puppets and they all did great!!
