Our work is genre-defying, constructed with rigorous dramaturgy and performed with physical and emotional specificity. We aim to create performances that are unabashedly entertaining, but not easy, following the only rule of clown: Dont Be Boring. Our work has been shown at Live Drafts at The Yard, the Camden People's Theatre and the Lion & Unicorn Theatre. We've received in kind support from the Theatre Deli and New Diorama Broadgate.Find out more about Secretariat Instagram: @_secretariatTwitter: @SecretariatLndn
