Welcome to Offbeat Theatre

We can provide some fairly unusual scripts for Youth Theatres, Groups and Schools, as well as costumes and splurge guns for Bugsy Malone

Scripts

We promote selected scripts for Youth Theatres and Schools that are slightly (or completely) off-the-wall, unusual, fantasy-based or just plain bonkers. At present we have The Dream Makers, a full length play that offers tremendous opportunities for a creative group to improvise and devise small sections (dreams in fact) of the play themselves. Take a look at the Dream Makers pages and check out the characters, story board and sample script.
We strongly recommend that you take a look at Seeing Things by Rob Hockley - a spooky one-act comedy for a cast of 5 and an extremely off-the-wall one act play for a ensemble cast of many May Contain Nuts! We've also populated the sketches page with a few of our favourites Gorgeous Gerald and the Ghost, Fairy Wings - more coming soon.
Most of the scripts are written by Youth Theatre Director Barbara Hockley and are developed, tried and tested on stage! The photos are all from past productions by the Conquest Youth Theatre in Bromyard, Herefordshire. Spookily enough that's where we're based as well.......

Bugsy Malone

Thinking of putting on Bugsy Malone? You'll need splurgable suits and dresses! We have a range of suits to fit a good range of 'hoods', as well as some pretty amazing showgirl dresses (not to mention huge ostrich feather fans). We slso have a rack of 10 Bugsy Malone Splurge Guns plus the backfiring gun for Knuckles.

Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?

We also have the shotgun from 'Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?' (unlikely for a Youth Theatre production, but we did make one last year & we're happy to hire it out!)

Check out the hire pages for pictures and prices.

Feel free to contact us for extra info, feedback, queries etc!
