MANIFESTO
NO SUCH THEATRE

  • NST are interested in setting unattainable goals. Our work emerges from the attempt to reach them.

​

  • NST strive towards density, complexity and intellectual depth. But this complexity is embedded in intensity, and the visceral. We see no distinction between thought and action, between thinking and feeling.

​

  • NST aim to create work that is adversarial; which is not to say aggressive, cruel or unpleasant. Merely that NST is not interested in staging consensus.

​

  • NST seek irresolvable questions. We are not evangelists for a cause. We do not have the answers.

​

  • NST make work in extremis: at the extremes of life, the uncomfortable space in which fundamental questions hang in the balance, teetering on the edge of chaos.

​

  • NST believe in lightness and play, but we do not consider this synonymous with thinness or comfort. We can play rough if we want to.

​

  • NST believe that no subject should be excluded from our creative frame. If executed with compassion and clarity – and without exploitative effect – performance can (and should) represent or speak to anything.

​

  • NST strive to be democratic, diverse and inclusive. No communicative force should be a sole creative arbiter – not the text, not the actors, not the lights nor the music nor the set nor the director.
