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.

London’s most vibrant venue for new theatre, comedy and cabaret.
Soho Theatre is a major creator of new theatre, comedy and cabaret. Across our three different spaces we curate the finest live performance we can discover, develop and nurture. Soho Theatre works with theatre makers and companies in a variety of ways, from full producing of new plays, to co-producing new work, working with associate artists and presenting the best new emerging theatre companies that we can find. We have numerous writers and theatre makers on attachment and under commission, six young writers and comedy groups and we read and see hundreds of shows a year – all in an effort to bring our audience work that amazes, moves and inspires. We attract over 170,000 audience members a year.
‘Soho Theatre was buzzing, and there were queues all over the building as audiences waited to go into one or other of the venue’s spaces. [The audience] is so young, exuberant and clearly anticipating a good time.’ Guardian
We produced, co-produced or staged over forty new plays in the last twelve months.
Our social enterprise business model means that we maximise value from Arts Council and philanthropic funding; we actually contribute more to government in tax and NI than we receive in public funding.
Soho Theatre relies upon the generosity of its audience, Soho Theatre Friends, and donations from a whole range of people and organisations to support its artistic programme and charitable activities. To find out more about how you can help please visit our website. You can see
