We shock and shake the world with with itself. We don't hesitate, we just get on with it, constantly leaping over the line of conformity. For all the right reasons, in all the unorthodox ways. upTkreek Theatre is a theatre company newly based in Cornwall. Our work explores issues concerning sex and gender identity, ethnicity and violence, political corruption, religious taboos and so on.

upTkreek Theatre when first formed in 2010 was only a street performance group and one the things the group thrived on was Commadia. Unfortunately the company as it is now do not do as much.
The Haunted Rite of Madness is a creation of upTkreek's Artistic Director Roman Bloodworth. The piece was developed through the main character (who has always remained nameless). It has been an ongoing project of the company's for nearly two years. It has been a Ballet, a piece of performance poetry, a play and so on. It's a story of how your inner self escapes from the four walls of your mind and in to imagination and freedom. But we soon find it's not what it first seems. The piece has currently been shelved for a uncertain period time.
