Notice this Notice Theatre Company
About Us
Notice this Notice
We at Notice this Notice reimagine the Victorian sense of humour for the 21st Century audience. Performance culture in the 19th Century was vibrant and eclectic, and we find inspiration in the varied stage craft of the Victorians. Taking inspiration from Music Hall, Melodrama, Parody, Pantomime, Comic Opera and Variety acts, our theatre is a love letter to the wonderful world of Victorian theatre in a way that is simultaneously nostalgic and new. We don't just idolise, we question, reimagine, and rework to create shows that draw inspiration from the past to present something exciting, eccentric, and entertaining!
