Welcome to Bruvvers Theatre Company’s home on the web!
Bruvvers have been taking popular theatre to the community for more than 40 years. We’re based in Newcastle upon Tyne in North-East England, giving approximately 250 performances per year and playing to more than 40,000 people. Over the years, we estimate that more than a million people have seen a Bruvvers show! We’re an ensemble company with at least three plays in repertoire at any one time.
The Work
Bruvvers’ work is aimed at the whole community, from the very youngest up to the elderly, and everyone in between. We produce four or five shows each year, including one aimed at the very young, and our famous Christmas pantomime. Our shows combine exciting stories with music, song and action suitable for all the family; we also help with workshops, festivals, conferences, teaching, enabling and passing on skills to all age ranges, but especially the disadvantaged inner-city dweller. Our audience is made up of people who would not normally be able to participate in any other theatrical or artistic event.
Performances
The performances take place in schools, community centres, nurseries, youth clubs, playscheme sites, pubs, clubs, village halls, church halls, day-centres, sheltered accommodation, care homes, hospitals, colleges - in fact, any space where an audience can gather. Bruvvers' shows are infinitely adaptable.
Our ‘house style’ is in-the-round, where the audience sit on all four sides of the action.
Company
The company is based in Newcastle upon Tyne, but we traditionally tour to the whole of Tyneside with occasional forays to Wearside, Cleveland, Durham, Northumberland and Cumbria. We make regular visits to national and international festivals, including the Prague Fringe.
Bruvvers is a company limited by guarantee, registered in England 2837215 and a registered charity 1024682. Bruvvers wishes to thank Newcastle City Council, Arts Council England (North East) and Away With The Fog for their continued revenue support.
