about us

Kindle Theatre is led by Emily Ayres, Samantha Fox and Olivia Winteringham, and is based in Birmingham, England. We create performances that seek to playfully reinvent the theatrical experience; exploring intimate and communal exchanges within the live event. The projects range from large scale theatrical banquet to sweaty rock gig; often including innovative food, audience engagement and live music. Kindle shows are always ensemble-led.

The Furies is our latest experiment into extended voice technique, using vocal expression to create an electrifying atmosphere.
