Curious Monkey

Curious Monkey is the North East’s first theatre company of Sanctuary. Our work shares stories of underrepresented communities, raising awareness of the issues they face. Our projects promote inclusion & celebrate diversity. Our productions are inspired by and developed with the people we work with. Currently our programme focuses on people who are seeking sanctuary and young people with experience of the care system.

Our vision:

To create a fairer, more integrated society where everyone is welcomed, valued and heard.

Our mission:

Use theatre and creativity to improve the life chances and wellbeing of the communities we work with, centring them at the heart of the creative process and helping to tackle the inequalities they face; Influence dialogue with diverse audiences and decision makers across the UK and internationally, encouraging positive societal change.
