Anointed Theatre Company

Educating audiences on classic literature through the medium of theatre

Our company intends to present classical literature to audiences in a way that is engaging and captivating whilst also educating them. Literature as a whole but especially classical literature can sometimes be difficult to understand or appreciate from a modern perspective. However, we believe that through the use of theatre, spoken word, and physical performance, we can perform literature in a way that can be better appreciated by a modern audience. We want to ensure these classic texts can continue to be enjoyed so that they don't become lost to the past.
