Claque Theatre specialises in creating large-scale and inclusive community plays. A community play brings a professional theatre team together with large numbers of people to create a theatre experience which celebrates and challenges the unique needs of the community.

Claque Theatre is a creative, social enterprise that brings people together to create large-scale and inclusive community theatre productions. A Community Play brings together a professional theatre team who work inclusively with large numbers of people, for no less than eighteen months, to create a total theatre experience that both celebrates and challenges. Through the months leading up to the production an abundance of volunteering activities take place developing friendships and support between people that represents the major rewards of the work. The process, carefully prepared with local consultation, aims to respond to the specific needs and expectations of the particular community. The process, like the plays themselves, is designed for the unique needs of the community they serve. The result, properly executed, is a thrilling climax of achievement. A testament to the creativeness and co-operation of people is that the work is always of a high artistic standard; communities are never less than surprised by what they achieve.
