theatre for and about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

Proforca Theatre Company was founded in 2015.

We make bold, human, emotionally charged new work about ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

We create stories full of heart, humour, broken edges and big feelings, connecting artists and audiences through theatre that feels immediate, intimate and alive, powered by our passion for work we make and stories told from the world we live in.

about us

We’re a London-based company making new work from our home at the Lion & Unicorn Theatre. We create and produce bold, human stories for London audiences, with an ambition to take that work further through touring, midscale productions and long-term collaborations.

Alongside our larger critically-acclaimed and award nominated productions, we run initiatives like The Side Hustle, our scratch night for new writing and emerging artists. It is a space for artists to test ideas, share work, meet each other and be part of the wider Proforca community.
