Actors Touring Company

Actors Touring Company produces international contemporary theatre that travels – making the global, local and the local, global.

We are one of the only British theatre companies committed to producing international plays; and to touring the work of those global voices throughout  the UK (and beyond).

Matthew Xia, one of British theatre’s most exciting talents, has been Artistic Director since 2019. Matthew brings with him fresh thinking about the global identities within contemporary British society. Matthew’s work explores voices from the cultures that make up our globe and our nation – and the ways in which they intersect.

• We create theatre with a global perspective
• We engage with the issues, the events and the changes that impact and affect all of us – across society – at this moment in history
• We are the only British theatre company dedicated to the production of international plays for UK audiences
• We give voice to ‘the other’, exploring cross-cultural and internationalism, how tribes and nations interact, exist with and effect one another in a hyperconnected world
• We place the actor at the heart of our ethos
• We employ a lean aesthetic which promotes environmental sustainability
