Our team
This is the founding team behind Out of Pocket Theatre. We began as classmates at The Oxford school of Drama in 2021 - when no one knew the enormous amount of respect and love we were to garner for eachother over three years of training as an ensemble. After graduating in 2024 we founded the company in order to continue making work that experiments with a diverse range of exhilarating writing, movement, music and multimedia.
