Out Of The Forest Theatre

“Out of the Forest Theatre is the company that wide-eyed creative children should dream of running away to join.”

Out Of The Forest Theatre is a multi-award-winning ensemble-based company. We take misremembered or forgotten stories from history, set them to folk music, and use them as a lens to better understand today. Irreverently presented, knee-slapping, historical theatre with a modern revisionist twist.

Productions include —

The Brief Life & Mysterious Death of Boris III, King of Bulgaria

Bulgaria just told Hitler to bog off, saved nearly 50,000 Jewish lives... and lost a King.

'Whether a jazz fan, a history buff or just someone who loves gripping real-life stories, this is a must see.' Kyril, Prince of Preslav, Boris III's Grandson

This is the untold but true tale of how nearly 50,000 Jewish Bulgarians were saved from deportation and death and then how the world forgot all about it.

Bury The Hatchet

Andrew Borden and his wife Abby are found dead in Fall River, Massachusetts on the morning of August 4th, 1892.

Their daughter Lizzie is the main suspect.

Tried but acquitted of the crime, the story goes that she wielded the axe that killed them. Overnight, she becomes America's original “mad, bad and dangerous to know” icon of tabloid and rumour.

Louisa & Jo (& Me)

Part adaptation of Little Women, part journey on the road to self-discovery, part 90’s romp, “Louisa & Jo (& Me)” is a one woman show about childhood, nostalgia and growing up, set to live folk music.
