AS a national rural theatre company, Pentabus have been a key figure in rural touring theatre and on the national theatre scene for the past 45 years.
They are now pioneering a new strand of work called Theatre in Surprising Places – engaging with communities with little or no access to the arts – which sees them work with communities of place or interest to create new theatre projects which tell stories.
This is done through engagement between artists and communities, a shared interest or theme, and working towards a final product over a period of time. They have made work with farmers and lifeboat men, with net makers and bus drivers, and with residents of local communities.
