Street theatre and outdoor art

Desperate Men have been making street theatre since 1980. Whether in a street, theatre, school, bar or on a hillside, our purpose has always been clear:to produce original, accessible comic theatre.

Desperate Men can be hired for festivals or events. Current animations include: Darwin and the Dodo, The Film Crew, Dancing Bears’ Cheese, Rubbish Heads, and The Eco-Pirates. We are also involved in education work, promoting street theatre, and work as project consultants.
