Welcome

Flip the script is proud of its roots; being young people led and developed and has high ambitions for changing the landscape of theatre as we know it today. We are proud of being a theatre company at the heart of Manchester and of being an accessible company to all young people across Manchester, even in the most unlikely places. We are proud to honourably undertake an immense responsibility to “Flip the Script” on the “Narrative” of theatre, its place in the world we live in and provide a space for open creativity in whatever form it takes shape in.

“I am honoured to undertake the responsibility of Artistic Director and CEO and I am backed by the most incredible and creative young people, who I am proud to call some of my closest friends. The path that the company is on is not a straight one and we are prepared to face any challenges that arise, but we are committed to facing them head-on with confidence and purpose. I/We have a clear aim and objective and that is to ‘Flip the Script’ in whatever that means to the people we engage, and I am so grateful for the position I am in to do so. We are company built by young people who will champion young people’s voices in the creative industry in whatever way we can, and trust me, we wont shy away from the difficult (sometimes) uncomfortable topics, which question the very definition of the world around us.”
