Absolute Theatre exists to make extraordinary, stimulating theatre, create new audiences and promote wider engagement with live performance.
The company was established in 1991 and acquired a reputation for an innovative, highly visual style, offering a sensorial, emotional and intellectual experience not available through any other medium.
Over the years it has established strong connections with other theatres and arts bodies, in particular, the Theatre Royal Bath, where the company’s creative team was involved in a number of productions which included ’Twelfth Night’, a new adaptation of ‘Electra’, several youth theatre shows and a revue piece for the Bath Shakespeare Festival.
Our 2018 collaboration with Portuguese company Teatro do Montemuro resulted in the touring piece ‘Os 4 Clowns do Apocalipse’.
Absolute has regularly delivered training and education, often as an element of the performances. Close links with schools and colleges within London and further afield have developed, leading to numerous projects including ‘Jericho Stone’ (Kingston Jamaica), ‘Portland Stories/Quarters Kids’ (Dorset) and, in 2022, ‘Because I’m A Londoner’. This is currently being reprised, made possible with funding from The National Lottery Heritage Fund.
