Red Herring is a theatre company based in Bideford, North Devon which creates fun, comic, curious and considered outdoor performance – on street corners, in urban parks and more remote landscape settings.
We take a sideways look at the world we live in and encourage people to come together to experience familiar places and stories in unfamiliar ways. Our style is unconventional, shaking up the expectations of what theatre and performance is about. We like to blur the edges between the performance and the audience, providing opportunity for people to join in. We may ask people to take a walk, to interact with each other or take part in some playful activity. Because play is joyful, active and optimistic and it helps us to feel and be positive about the world.
Our projects generally involve a period of research where we find out as much as we can about the place and the community that live there. Where possible, we offer workshops and other opportunities to take part. If you’d like to find out about this side of our work, then we’d love to hear from you.
