We create challenging, vibrant theatre for young people, but we also provide expert training in all areas of drama from Practitioner theory to Presentation skills. Over the last six years we have gained an excellent reputation for both the inventiveness of our performances and the clarity of our teaching. We’re a small company and our priority is providing consistent, high-quality work for a growing band of regular clients. We’d love for you to be one of them! |

Our production for 2010/2011
We're excited to announce that next year's production will be our own, brand-new adaptation of 'The Trial' by Franz Kafka. Adapted from the classic novel, the one-hour performance will be a great example of provocative political theatre, which incorporates many of Splendid's 'core values'; Epic, episodic, multi-roling, fourth-wall-busting, joy-filled and irreverent. The production is touring schools in England and Wales from September 2010 to April 2011 and is available as a 3 or 5.5-hour session with a 1.5hr or 4hr workshop. Naturally, there have been some concerns about this controversial choice of material. You can read the precautionary letter from the Ministry of Theatre here. You might also find some useful information about tour dates, pricing and how to book here. Splendid Productions' 'The Trial': Judge for yourself! |

Splendid Production DVDsThe player will show in this paragraph On 9th December 2009, Splendid Productions performed both of their tremendous adaptations of Dr Faustus and Woyzeck in front of a lively audience at the Albany in South London, and luckily there were some cameras there to record the event! For the first time, Splendid are making available both productions on DVD - as a record of each show, an alternative for people who didn't get to see us, or just an hour of high-quality, inventive, Brechtian theatre inside your TV - and we're excited to announce that Splendid's Production DVDs are on sale now for £35 each, or £60 for both! To find out more, watch the trailer above, or head to our shop for more clips, information about the shows, full details of prices, deals and extras. |
