"The best 90-minute lesson I've seen in 40 years of teaching."
(Derbyshire PSHE Co-ordinator about 'Tight' )
Brief Candle Theatre was founded in 2002 by actor and director David Shimwell and writer Paul Whitfield. Since then the company has quickly established itself as a leading provider of high quality Theatre for young audiences in Derbyshire and across the East Midlands.
We have earned a reputation for excellence, based on positive, productive relationships with all our partners, attention to detail and an unbending commitment to quality and creativity, both artistically and educationally in everything we do.
