ARTISTIC POLICY
Foursight Theatre has gained its reputation over the past 20 years for theatre which reviews history through the eyes of women: unknown, famous and infamous. Their shows are vivid, comic, intellectually rigorous and deeply rooted in physical theatre, combining word, movement and music in equal measure.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'The theatricality of this company is staggering.' Vancouver Georgia Straight

'Accomplished, assured, expressive... the emotions respond to the strongly visual elements of Foursight's work.' The Guardian

'Sharp, critical, imaginative, intelligent… and extremely funny.' BBC Front Row
