Out of Joint

One of our longest established visiting companies, Out of Joint have brought bold revivals and sharp new writing to both of our theatres since Everyman & Playhouse was established in 2003.

Gemma Bodinetz, our Artistic Director, says: "Out of Joint are renowned for developing hard-hitting new plays and reviving resonant 20th Century classics many of which were first directed by their legendary Artistic Director Max Stafford–Clark."
