Open air theatre at its finest

Heartbreak's aim is to stage a performance that is stimulating and hugely enjoyable! We celebrate and concentrate on what is unique about theatre: the relationship between the audience and the performer.

The company's policy is to present the text of the plays as simply as possible but also imbue the production values with an inventiveness and freshness that sets us apart. This means that our open-air performances are noted for their imaginative and original production style but also fused with a clarity and accessibility for new audiences who are perhaps not as familiar with the work.

Capitalising on the outstanding natural backdrops of the venues we visit, we are able to focus on the spirit of each particular play we are working on and the endless possibilities associated with producing these classics.

Ultimately, we aim to produce a play that will do justice to the writer and respect the genius of the text, but also provide audiences with an enormously entertaining event and an opportunity to explore the richness of our theatrical heritage.

Heartbreak aims to tell stories that inspire, entertain, challenge and help us come to a better understanding of humanity and how we can live together.

Heartbreak concentrates on the uniqueness of theatre, the relationship between the audience and the actor and the fertility of the imagination. To create work that is, innovative, clear, visual, and will profoundly affect the audience moving them to tears or laughter so that the story lives on in their memory.

We work as a team both internally and externally using the main guidelines of listening and communicating directly and honestly, equality, and team before self, to create an environment where we can learn, develop and thrive.

We have toured Nationally both indoors and outdoors creating magic in a variety of spaces but always aiming to provide excellent value for our customers whether they are venues, audience members or sponsors. Our business is managed by following the core principles of simplicity, learning and improving, and never spending more than we have coming in.
