The Company

Mission Statement

Wake up Theatre Company consists of 12 graduating students who are passionate about making thought provoking, inspiring and stimulating theatre for you. We are interested in compelling audiences into questioning the world they live in.  To question society and humanity. We are currently exploring knife crime and its affects from different perspectives. How people view knives, how people use knives, how people pass the blame. Our work will be a hybrid of documentary, scripted and devised theatre.

Manifesto

Someone is charged with murder every 7 days.
175 people are robbed at knife point every day.
