The company was founded by the director Alice Hamilton and the writer Barney Norris, who first began working together when they met in their local youth theatre in Salisbury. They have presented work in theatres, woods and village halls across the UK, in co-production or in association with Arcola Theatre, The Bush Theatre, Orange Tree Theatre, Out of Joint Theatre Company, The North Wall Arts Centre and Reading Rep. Through a busy engagement programme, they meet hundreds of people each year, encouraging them to engage with the conditions of their lives through making theatre. Their production of Visitors by Barney Norris was selected among the plays of the year in 2014 by the Guardian and the Evening Standard, and their production of Eventide by Barney Norris was selected among the plays of the year in 2015 by The Times, The Stage and The Arts Desk.
