Creative Learning
Here at Not So Nice! Theatre Company, we are committed to using theatre to enhance people’s knowledge, understanding and engagement surrounding challenging current issues. Through education and debate, we aim to inspire future generations to create the change that we need to see today.
Our Vision
We desire to tour both nationally and internationally, shedding light on taboo topics that are not covered in the classroom. We want to be a source of information for current issues that young people might be facing both in and away from school.
Through the profits we make, we want to give back to the community and the charities involved with the areas that our shows shed light on. We want to offer our services to youth groups and schools that would not usually be able to see our type of work.
At the end of each show, we want to offer short lessons and discussions as well as a workshop for the students. This gives the students more opportunities to create work of their own, develops their understanding of professional theatre practice and allows them to engage more directly with the difficult topics that we discuss in our shows.

Empower Voices
Our mission is to create performances that inspire, educate and initiate discussion surrounding topics that society may shy away from or could be considered as “taboo”. This is encapsulated by our motto: “Life isn't so nice, so why should our productions be?”. Not So Nice is proud to be a platform for new and upcoming talent, featuring new writing in our work. We work in collaboration with organizations like our friends at LGBT Health (https://www.lgbthealth.org.uk/)to put on workshops dedicated to boldly exploring creativity, performance, and exploration for those in the LGBTQIA+ Community.
