Talespin is a company like no other. Taking classical theatre, debuting new writing, we aim to make theatre accessible and as exciting for everyone. All of our artists and team members are from diverse backgrounds, bringing new experiences to not only our audience, but to us as actors too.
We are currently booking our 2021 tours for nurseries and care home this Christmas! We have three tours on so why not see what's on and if we can accommodate you with a show this season?
In 2020, the height of the pandemic we did not slow down, we carried on telling stories through our social media platforms with mini performances for children and adults alike! And after all that time, bounced back in 2021 with Cinderella in a nursery school tour.
In 2019 we made our GM Fringe debut, collaborating with Jordan Kennedy, a writer from Manchester. The GM Fringe is a tradition we hope to continue for years to come. The Play 'STAGES' was then picked up for a theatrical tour which played at Hope Street Theatre Liverpool and The Cockpit Theatre London and received a 5 Star review.
In 2018, we produced our play 'Somme Men' at The Kings Arms Salford, over the armistice weekend commemorating the 100 years since the end of the Great War. This play focused on the madness and travesty of WW1, as well as being a comment on current situations and mindsets that still continue today.
If you would like more information on tours and/or workshops don't hesitate to contact us on 0800 689 1187 or email us at TalespinTheatreCo@Gmail.com
