Red Ladder is acknowledged as one of Britain’s leading national touring companies producing new theatre, contributing to social change and global justice. We give a platform to the voices that are rarely heard and stories that are overlooked, often working-class. 

Founded in 1968 in London, the company has a colourful history rooted in the radical socialist theatre movement in Britain known as agitprop. Born into an era of riots, demonstrations and revolts, Red Ladder has evolved into the 21st Century, where it continues to entertain and agitate in as equal measures as possible. A registered charity, Red Ladder is funded by Arts Council England and by Leeds City Council.
