| Brith Gof is part of a distinct and European tradition in the contemporary performing arts - visual, physical, amplified, poetic and highly designed. Rather than focusing on the dramatic script, its work is part of an ecology of ideas, aesthetics and practices which foregrounds the location of performance, the physical body of the performer, and relationships with audience and constituency. Brith Gof's works thus deal with issues such as the nature of place and its relation with identity, and the presence of the past in strategies of cultural resistance and community construction. The company works at all scales, from small solo works of storytelling to large epic works staged in locations such as disused factories, sand quarries, ice hockey stadiums, railway stations, abandoned farmhouses and even deep in the forest. | |

| We are The Playwrights' Co-operative, a not for profit organisation whose mission is to further the aims of member playwrights. Under the publishing banner New Theatr Publications, we have a catalogue of over 500 acting editions of all types of plays. Paper catalogues are free in the UK, but we suggest using the online searchable catalogue at our website www.plays4theatre.com - by its nature, that's always more up to date. We have a free reader loan scheme and have an initiative to encourange writing for disabled actors. We also welcome new members and new play script submissions. |
