Coney

…brimmed with possibility and inventiveness… pushed at the boundaries of what theatre can and might be.

- Lyn Gardner in The Stage on Coney’s programme over lockdown, Aug 2020

Coney’s mission is to make play to spark change, always following key principles of adventure, curiosity, and loveliness. 

We are at the forefront of contemporary theatre, with a thriving expertise in interaction design, digital cleverness and public engagement. We work in partnership with players, makers and other organisations. We explore, and respond to what we find to create dynamic events that take place anywhere people gather (in person or virtually).

We make play with people at the heart of it all, following the three key principles of adventure, curiosity and loveliness, as if it might change the world a little for the better. Sometimes this play looks like interactive or immersive theatre. Sometimes it might feel like an adventure, a good conversation, or an exchange of gifts between strangers. Coney uses common digital technology cleverly, to meet audiences wherever they are: in theatres, schools, museums, workplaces, on the streets and online.
