ARTISTIC POLICY
Foursight creates vital and surprising theatre inspired by the lives and passions of women; every show bears the imprint of all those who made it.
Over the last twenty-one years, Foursight has gained an exceptional reputation for creating unusual, uncompromising, and multi-disciplinary work, which reviews history through the eyes of women: unknown, famous, and infamous. Foursight is committed to creating both devised and text-based theatre that places the actor at the centre of the process, combining word, movement, and music.

REVIEW EXTRACTS
Accomplished, assured, expressive.
The Guardian
Sharp, critical, imaginative, intelligent…and extremely funny.
BBC Radio 4 Front Row (Thatcher The Musical!)
Conceived with great imagination and executed with panache…an early glimpse of something that will run and run.
Birmingham Post (Thatcher The Musical!)
