We are KILTER; an award-winning collaborative theatre company. We make confronting theatre that responds to and seeks to change the world around us.
Our work is irreverent, emotionally charged, risky, formally inventive, often comic and sometimes angry. We think humour, playfulness and theatrical inventiveness are important. There is a strong visual and physical strand to our work, and collabora
ting across art-forms and genres is central to how we create.
KILTER was established in 2016 by Ed Theakston and Katie Coull, who met while training at East 15 Acting School, London. We have made work for venues including the King's Head, Theatre503, Camden People's Theatre, STYX, the Courtyard Hoxton, Landor_Space, and Tara Theatre. We have been commissioned by Wimbledon College of Art and worked with students on new work at Royal Central School of Speech and Drama and Mountview. Our work has been supported by the Lyric Hammersmith and the New Diorama.
In 2016 we won the Best Play award at the Stockwell Playhouse One Act Festival, and in 2017 were a recipient of the East 15 Emerging Companies Award.
