Hijinx Theatre

«If you want small-​scale perfection, try Hijinx Theatre. Their shows are with almost uncanny reliability little masterpieces, miniatures where every aspect of the product is finely crafted.» David Adams ~ The Guardian.
Set up in 1981 by Gaynor Lougher and Richard Berry, this Theatre Company’s mission statement is ‘to create high quality theatre which is accessible, entertaining and challenging for small communities throughout Wales and England.‘
In the spring and early summer they create a play for adults with learning disabilities and their community. They’ve developed a good working relationship with Mencap Cymru who provide excellent advice about topical issues in the learning disabled community. A Background Information Pack is produced for each production with copies left with carers to enable follow up work on the themes of the play.
Each autumn Hijinx tour a new production for the general public in community venues for 11 weeks. Over the years they’ve also developed a strong commitment to new writing, commissioning plays from many of Wales’ leading playwrights. Hijinx have developed a strong fusion of music, movement and visual imagery in all our work. They’re great!
