Red Rose Chain Theatre Company

About Red Rose Chain Theatre Company

Red Rose Chain is a dynamic award-winning theatre company based in Suffolk with a well-established reputation for delivering work for the whole community. Entirely independent and self-sustaining, we create original productions that confront social concerns, often working with overlooked or hard-to-reach groups to create powerful and insightful stories that demand to be told. Our exciting Community programme provides high-quality and empowering drama projects for young people, hard to reach groups and disadvantaged people in the area of Ipswich, increasing accessibility to the arts. This programme takes place in our new studio theatre The Avenue! For us, working with the community isn’t just an add-on thing we do to show we care. It’s the heart behind all of our work and fuels everything that we do. Whether we’re performing Shakespeare or developing new writing, we are always finding ways of engaging and involving youth groups, schools and hard to reach audiences who might not normally have the chance to experience the arts. We create new plays and films through a unique process that involves working with all sorts of people to develop candid and authentic stories. We’ve collaborated with prison inmates, young people in care, single parents and members of drug rehabilitation projects to name but a few. Whatever we do, we aim to give these people a voice through original work and a chance to experience high quality art without barriers, without prejudice and without patronising them. Across the board our productions strive to challenge thinking, to encourage debate and to raise the expectations and ambitions that we have of ourselves and those around us.
