ARTISTIC POLICY Founded in 1997 and based in Leeds, Unlimited Theatre tours extensively throughout the UK and increasingly overseas. Although constantly developing, the principles of the company’s work remain rooted in a commitment to pushing marginalised ideas and voices centre stage; to explore how personal experience can illuminate a wider political debate; and ultimately to present a theatrical experience that provokes, stimulates and entertains. Unlimited Theatre’s core creative team comprises Clare Duffy, Liz Margree, Jon Spooner and Chris Thorpe.
