Changeling Theatre was founded in 1997 to produce high quality, entertaining theatre for community audiences across South East England. Based in Kent, we are very proud of our Kentish roots and are committed to serving local, diverse audiences across the region. We have also toured to venues beyond Kent, including 3 years, to critical acclaim, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. We bring something new and relevant to our productions: new interpretations of Shakespeare, reinvented modern classics, working with new writers and composers to create innovative new theatre. From Brecht's Arturo Ui to Lysistrata by Aristophanes, from Gay's Beggar's Opera to commissioned new plays such as The Blue Diamond of Azkabar, we offer outstanding theatre to local audiences, performed by an accomplished blend of talented local and professional actors and musicians. Best known for our hugely successful annual Summer Shakespeare tour, we have staged As You Like It, Merry Wives of Windsor, Midsummer Night's Dream, Merchant of Venice, Macbeth, Romeo and Juliet, Richard III and Hamlet.
