Half Cut Theatre is passionate that theatre is for everyone, no matter where you live. And we also understand that going to the theatre can often be an expense that not everyone can stretch to. The majority of performances are sold on a Pay What You Decide basis.
Half Cut Theatre began their journey outdoors and now perform all year round in theatres, studio spaces, pub gardens, village greens, nearby castles, or anywhere they can pitch a stage and come together with the local community to tell a story.
Founded by three professional actors, George Readshaw and Alex Wilson who both trained at the prestigious Bristol Old Vic Theatre School and James Camp who studied at the renowned Guildford School of Acting. They focus on bringing much loved classics to life with a new and exciting twist and and like to work in a democratic and equitable way where company members, the backstage team, venues and audience members all have a sense of ownership over that piece of theatre springing into life in the sunshine, metaphorical or otherwise.
