About Two's A Crowd
Two's A Crowd is a not for profit Production Company based in and around Stamford and Peterborough. We aim to produce innovative, engaging and visually stimulating work that both recognises and challenges theatrical conventions.
​
Our objective is to create conceptually interesting work that reflects theatre's and our actor's versatility by utilising multi-rolling, physical comedy, improvisation and inter-medial elements.
​
We aim to achieve this through our devised and scripted performances. We strive to captivate audiences by providing them with a multitude of entertaining theatrical projects.
​
We produce, we perform, we play.
​
Two's A Crowd Productions was started with the intention of recognising and celebrating all the roles people undertake in theatre making on and off stage.
Often creative people wear many 'hats' and do many jobs to bring a production to life. When working on one project these talented people can be directors, producers, writers, stage managers, designers, technicians and more simultaneously... a real 'crowd' of their own.
​
Sadly this vital work 'behind the scenes' can go unrecognised...
​
We want to ensure that we celebrate and champion our practitioners for every part they play in producing amazing work!
​
This company started with two - but as you can see, Two's a Crowd.
Rob Anthony - Company Director, Producer, Actor, you name it...
