Come on in, pull up a chair.
We meet in secret, but you’re welcome here.
Don’t worry, it’s just a game.
We’ll put a lid on it soon, just give us one night.
The culmination of 5 years of actor training with Dark Horse, one of the UKs most exciting learning disabled led theatre companies, the Student Ensemble brings you its villainous graduating production.
With live sound score and the company’s signature physical flare, this fierce, vibrant & sassy show asks why is it so damn fun to play the villain? And once we’ve started, where will it lead?
Did you know Dark Horse deliver transformative masterclasses to University & Conservatoire students across the UK?
Over the last year, Dark Horse have been developing leadership structures & processes that are inclusive and give more agency to learning disabled leaders.
