We want to create and collaborate on productions which "mean" something - something more than the air and time it occupies.
At Flying Bridge we are determined make theatre with a social conscience, that is political with a small 'p'.
We are driven to make dramatic work which appeals to all sub-groups of human division and which inspires us all to see our commonality.
