ETT are a UK based international touring company. We create theatre of outstanding quality,

imagination and ambition; work which interrogates and celebrates contemporary England and

reflects the diversity of our nation.

ETT is a limited company and a registered charity receiving significant funding from Arts Council

England and is a National Portfolio Organisation.

We believe in the power of creative collaboration, and work in partnership with visionary artists and

venues to create work on a variety of scales.

We believe that touring is a democratic and imaginative way to invite audiences to engage with the

world through storytelling. At the heart of our practice is a drive to entertain, engage, challenge and

inspire.

We believe in celebrating diversity by placing an examination of contemporary English identity at

the heart of everything we do.

Staging a balance of new and classic work, we make theatre that is imaginative, responsive and alive:

sparking dialogue and fostering connectivity.

We are proud to tour shows that reach the widest possible range of audiences across the UK and

beyond, engaging in a national and global conversation. We lead an inclusive and respectful culture.

We are based in London Waterloo; our premises comprise offices, audition rooms and rehearsal

studios. You can also find us on tour, across the UK and internationally, working with around 10

venue partners, in 25 towns and cities, reaching an average audience of 75,000 people every year.

In 2020/21 ETT had been due to produce 7 projects with 35 partner venues in the UK and

internationally which were all postponed or cancelled due to Covid-19. We have used this time to

develop our online offering to audiences and artists including the following projects:
