ARTISTIC POLICY
The Shout extends the possibilities of what a choir is and can do, delivering intelligent, thrilling choral theatre. Performing on rivers and rooftops, in opera houses and art galleries, in tin mines and gasometers, often involving hundreds of amateur singers, children and instrumentalists, The Shout creates serious yet playful new work.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'The Shout continues to develop an ensemble sound and attitude like no other… entertaining, funny and deadly serious.' The Guardian

'Stop whatever you’re doing immediately and order yourself a ticket for this show... it’s a glorious celebration of the human voice in all its diversity, and of mankind in all its untidy unity.' The Times
