Common Wealth Theatre

Common Wealth exists for the advancement of the arts for public benefit, particularly performing arts; and promotion of social inclusion, providing: opportunities to understand people’s lived experience and that of the community around them; and public spaces to share those experiences encouraging society’s better understanding. To achieve this, we create high-quality, multi-disciplinary, often site-specific political theatre where process is as important as outcome; facilitate creative experiences for working class-people, as protagonists, performers, participants, audiences; lead socially-engaged theatre through collaboration and sharing practice with arts/ non-arts partners, locally and nationally.
