Award-winning Strangeface Theatre Company have toured original visual theatre to venues regionally, nationally and internationally since 2001.

Accessibility is at the heart of our work – we take our performances for all to all spaces and explore complex ideas in engaging forms.

Artistic Director Russell Dean is one of the countries’ leading makers providing masks and puppets for the BBC, Channel 4, ITV, Vamos, Trestle, Geese, Red Ladder, Ben and Holly Live and Billy Elliot amongst many others.

Strangeface is currently touring: ‘Beached‘ and ‘Spaced‘.

‘Spaced! One bored boy, one mad scientist, one accidental trip into outer space! A puppet version of silent disco, Spaced is a 20 minute show for adults and children alike. Funny, nostalgic and totally family friendly; like a child’s dream…. football, rockets, playing piggy in the middle with Leika the Space Dog, and coming back to earth with the universe in your imagination. A mesmerising show you will never forget!’

Audiences said –

‘Totally original!’

‘Utterly delightful!’

“Excellent. Long live the power of the imagination”

“I loved the creativity & ingenuity. Fantastic puppets”

“Brilliant! Great puppetry, very inventive and fabulous story telling. Soundtrack excellent!”

Beached! One table, one puppet, one big adventure!  Put on our headphones and enter a magical world. All Arnold wants is some peace , sun and sand, but his walk to the beach soon turns into a monstrous adventure! Beached is a 15 minute show for all the family.

Audiences said –

“Spellbinding and magical!

“Go and see it!!!”… …

“I’m speechless.! I want to see it again now!”

“Very simple but incredibly effective. Funny – made me laugh a lot. Really clever use of audio too & the use of headphones made the experience very intimate. Wonderful!”
