About us
Our background is innovation. Our passion is storytelling.
The world is filled with sad, uplifting or funny stories of love, eccentricity, relationships, politics and science. We aim to serve the stories we share through using whichever medium is best suited to it.
If it calls for imaginative, crafted audio, then we make a radio programme. If it needs the magic of live performance, we produce theatre and if a landmark stage production should be captured for a wider audience and for generations to come, we film it for cinema release, TV, download and DVD.
We love what we do. Meeting new people, hearing new tales and telling them for new audiences.
