Pentabus is a contemporary theatre company, touring new plays about the rural world.
We produce plays that dig deep into the psyche of the English countryside. Shows are playful, political and compassionate, offering rural audiences theatre made especially for, and that speaks directly to, them. We then take these plays on the road, telling stories that are born locally, but resonate nationally.
In challenging times for the rural world, Pentabus brings front-line reports from forgotten communities, telling stories that matter for and about the contemporary countryside.
Pentabus turns 40 in 2014. The company was founded in 1974 and originally toured to five counties in the Midlands, hence PENT (five) and BUS (touring). Today we tour new plays all over the country. Recent productions include Milked by Simon Longman, about rural unemployment and a cow called Sandy, In This Place by Lydia Adetunji and Frances Brett, about women working in the countryside, For Once by Tim Price about teenagers and market towns, Stand Up Diggers All by Phil Porter exploring the links between the Occupy movement and land reclamation; and Blue Sky by Clare Bayley, about isolated rural airports.
Our productions turn up at festivals, in fields, in village halls and in theatres, reaching our audience wherever they may be. In fact, our mission can be summed up as: we tell the most exciting stories in the most surprising ways.
This Theatre has the support of the Channel 4 Playwright’s
scheme sponsored by Channel 4 Television.
