Hello! We’re Paines Plough. We tour celebrated new stories, performing them wherever you
are across the UK.
Founded in 1974, we have worked with over 300 outstanding British playwrights including
James Graham, Sarah Kane, Dennis Kelly, Mike Bartlett, Sam Steiner, Elinor Cook, Vinay
Patel, Zia Ahmed and Kae Tempest.
Our plays are nationally identified and locally heard. As a touring theatre company
dedicated to new writing, we find, develop and empower writers across the country and
share their explosive new stories with audiences all over the UK and beyond.
“The lifeblood of the UK’s theatre ecosystem.”
The Guardian
We tour to over 40 places a year and are committed to bringing work to communities who
might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience much new writing or theatre. We
reach over 30,000 people annually from Cornwall to the Orkney Islands, in village halls and
in our own pop-up theatre Roundabout; a state of the art, in the round auditorium which
travels the length and breadth of the country.
Our shows might appear in your local theatre, park, community centre, market square,
university campus, on the seafront, or online. Our audio app COME TO WHERE I’M FROM
hosts 180 original mini plays about home and our digital projects connect with audiences
via WhatsApp, phone, email and even by post.
Wherever you are you can experience a Paines Plough Production.
“I think some theatre just saved my life.”
