Told by an Idiot is a critically acclaimed UK theatre company that explores the human condition through theatre that is ambitious but never pretentious, experimental but always accessible. We avoid boredom at all costs and are fascinated by the space between laughter and pain. We consistently experiment with what theatre can be and who gets to make it. In doing so, our work blurs the line between theatre maker, participant and audience. 

We nurture the skills and talents of emerging theatre makers through our Taught by an Idiot artist development programme and our work excludes no one. It simulates and challenges people across the world and we remain committed to making theatre for anyone who breathes. 

Our vision is to ensure we make a major contribution to the national and international reputation and reach of the cultural sector in England by creating risk-taking, dynamic and critically acclaimed new work which consistently reflects ambition, quality, inclusivity and relevance.
