Welcome to Forest Forge
Theatre Company

Forest Forge has been touring work for nearly 30 years. Every year thousands of people gather in theatres, village halls, schools and art centres to be inspired, excited and, above all, entertained by our work. We are based in a purpose-built theatre centre in Ringwood, on the edge of the New Forest National Park.

Our ambition is simple: to create theatre that embraces, reflects and challenges the many communities we engage with. The defining ideas are quality and inclusiveness - in dialogue with artists, audiences and the wider community. We strive to create inspiring, dynamic and innovative work that invests in artists, integrates participatory work and is a vital hub in the theatre landscape for making new work.

Forest Forge creates at least 3 productions a year and has a large creative learning programme attached. We have a strong commitment to new writing and we commission and produce work from both emerging and established playwrights.

We are a regularly funded organisation of the Arts Council as well as receiving funding from Hampshire County Council and the New Forest District Council.

Forest Forge creates innovative theatre that:

  • Embraces its home in the New Forest
  • Integrates its programme of high quality touring and participatory work
  • Nurtures and showcases new writing by both emerging and established writers
  • Engages artists, audiences & partners in open dialogue

And so we have looked at 18 pages and made some amendments and looked at the characters. We have to find out what conventions work throughout the piece as reality and fantasy constantly merge- I need to discover the simple ways of telling the story and not over complicating the picture.
I have asked each actor to come up with their Desert Island Discs list
And so presenting Jacqueline Redgewell’s choices ( who is playing Reeny):

 

They prove that quality theatre can be done in village halls...trouble is they raise the stakes for everyone else who tries it...really wonderful Tina Ellen-Lee (Opera Circus) on A Clearing
