RedCape Theatre

RedCape Theatre

RedCape Theatre came together in 2006 to make their first show The Idiot Colony. The founding members Claire Coaché, Cassie Friend and Rebecca Loukes originally met at Lancaster University and subsequently each trained and performed internationally before returning to form RedCape Theatre. We are now the company-in-residence at South Street Arts Centre, Reading. We make and tour original plays. Our starting point is always a true story. We are drawn to ordinary people in extraordinary situations. From here we begin a process of research and investigation, meeting as many people as we can. The material is then brought into a rehearsal room where it is sifted and shaped by all the collaborators. Through this process we aim to make theatre that matters, moves and entertains. Our work is highly visual and physical with new writing.
