Scratchworks Theatre Company

Scratchworks Theatre Company

We are a physical ensemble of three women who work collaboratively to create highly visual, playful theatre from scratch. Founded in Exeter in 2013, we share a passion for creating original stories and use a diverse mix of physical movement, puppetry and live music to entertain and inspire our audiences. Our work is recognised and supported by Arts Council England and we are Associate Artists of The Bike Shed Theatre and Exeter Phoenix. We are currently developing new work with support from Shoreditch Town Hall and Barbican Theatre Plymouth. Members of the company have worked with the likes of Little Angel Theatre, Scripts for Supper and Rogue Theatre.
