White Horse Theatre is the world’s leading educational theatre company. Founded in 1978, the company has grown to 9 theatre groups, operating in six European countries, Japan, and China. Working with over 1,000 schools every year, White Horse Theatre offers performances and workshops in five different levels, from children’s plays for absolute beginners to serious Shakespeare for university audiences and adults, and reaches over 500,000 students per season. Over the years, White Horse Theatre has reached millions of students, and inspired them to see English as a fun and lively means of communication. All White Horse Theatre productions are highly visual, and aim to introduce foreign audiences to the essence of English theatre, language and culture. Throughout its work, White Horse Theatre takes quality seriously: all White Horse actors are professionals, and most plays are written specifically for the company. A large team of technicians and creatives work with prominent directors from London to create all shows in house, and the company works together closely with educational experts to maximise the learning experience.
