The Company

The Pocket Oxford Theatre was created in 2009 by a group of experienced, professional performers who set out to devise shows that make Shakespeare’s plays more fun and accessible to young people. Since then, the company has toured extensively, predominantly outside of the UK, presenting approximately 150 shows per year in theatres, schools and arts festivals of Europe to thousands of young people.

The Pocket Oxford Theatre is a company of highly trained and dedicated actors who have a wide range of skills, full equity status and extensive personal CVs in performance, alongside their theatre-in-education work. The company includes trained teachers, choreographers, directors, performance innovators and contemporary artists who collaborate to create The Pocket Oxford Theatre’s unique shows.
