so what is Theatre of Place?

The Talking Birds Guide to Theatre of Place (written by Co-Artistic Director Derek Nisbet and originally commissioned by the British Performing Arts Yearbook)

We are a Coventry-based company of artists known for our gently provocative projects which explore, and seek to illuminate, the profound and complex relationships between people and place. We're big on access, human connection, social and ecological responsibility, and on nurturing the next generation of artists and theatre makers, particularly in Coventry.
