ARTISTIC POLICY
Theatre Workshop aims to produce theatre which is well crafted, moving, challenging, beautiful, accessible and honest. Its purpose is to give voice to those who, for whatever reason, find themselves marginalised in society and to present what they have to say through high quality theatre productions. Theatre Workshop employs both disabled and non-disabled professional actors on all its productions.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
'Once again Theatre Workshop Director Robert Rae has come up with an intensely emotional piece of work that has the ability to collapse hearts and burst tear ducts – indeed, there have been many tears spilled over this incredibly moving true story.' The Big Issue in Scotland (One Hour Before Sunrise)

'A play that pulls no punches when it comes to portraying the brutality of prison and the strength of one man who refuses to sacrifice his principles, One Hour Before Sunrise has been lauded for its visceral and poetic script.' Scotland on Sunday

'A show that works on every level, from the vehement and glittering intensity of the performances, to the ferocious intimacy of its relationship with the screech and rasp of Weill’s magnificent music.' The Scotsman (The Threepenny Opera)
