Great Expectations Theatre was founded in 2016 by playwright and director, Richard Stringer. Their debut production, Runaway, performed during the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, was a huge success with audiences and critics alike.

 

Great Expectations Theatre is here to tell stories that put young people and their experiences in the forefront, asking the question - "What does it mean to be young in the 21st century?". We aim to explore issues effecting young people without censorship or the saccharine, watered-down version so often portrayed in the media with all the edges shaved off. We aim to tell the world how the world is for those who are not given a voice and for those disenfranchised by the political tumble-weed that is the UK.
