Visible Fictions

Visible Fictions is one of the UK’s leading theatre companies for children and young people. With a company aim of ‘telling a good story’, it draws upon the magic of theatre to do so.

Having a strong international reputation for creating powerful and engaging theatre, (see press statements below) Visible Fictions has toured across Ireland, Denmark, Canada and the USA.

It also performs closer to home with tours across the UK

Past productions include

  • Bill’s new frock
  • The Red Balloon
  • The Pearl
  • Emily’s House
  • The Monster
  • Into the Dark

Other exciting work Visible Fiction is involved in, includes a three-year new writing scheme. This gives a professional writer, who has never written for young audiences, an opportunity to discover first-hand the issues that are of greatest concern to children and weave these into a play specifically written for them.

Visible Fictions has also led on Out of School Learning Projects, enabling young people to experience and learn from their own creativity, stories and artistic experiences.
