Buxton & Birmingham dates in July now confirmed! It feels good to be back... The Theatres have been dark for quite a while but in that...
Welcome, thanks for popping in...
My name is Frank Bramwell, please check out these pages to
see if there's anything that might be of interest.
Here you'll find out about the work I've been doing since 2001.
All my efforts are around 3 things:
Shakespeare ¦ Education ¦ Theatre
Along the way, I've been extremely fortunate to have worked with many
many people who have given their skills and time unstintingly,
nearly always for little or no financial benefit.
Taking risks, pushing back boundaries, and reaching deep into ourselves
as artists will carry on until our work is complete.
Please click here if you'd like to support us; it can be as little as £5,
the price of a cup of coffee. As we go forward; we have so many
projects that we need/want to make happen.
I really appreciate your help and support.
Our Vision Statement
The Alternative Space exists to help people enrich their own
lives through the self-understanding coming out of our
alternative Shakespeare ¦ Education ¦ Theatre work.
About What We do...& How We Do it
We like to think of The Alternative Space as somewhere for people to
explore alternative ways of thinking, doing, and being,
Here people are free to engage with our particular alternative way of going about things, centred around our Shakespeare, Education, and Theatre work.
We hope your curiosity about our work will help enrich your perspective on
the world about us, in a way that is both satisfying and exciting.

Alternative Spaces - out of nothing comes something
Here you can find things that might be of interest to you;
observations, thoughts, questions, ramblings etc.
. . . for which we have three Alternative Spaces:
AlternativeShakespeare - splicing dicing Shakespeare
Where we splice and dice the works of William Shakespeare and in doing so
create new pieces that re-energise his themes, words, and
characters from an alternative point of view.
AlternativeEducation - caring sharing Education
Self-knowledge generated through being part of our voyage of discovery through
AlternativeShakespeare & AlternativeTheatre,
AlternativeTheatre - challenging stimulating Theatre
Our focus on Shakespeare helps us define our unique take on Theatre;
for us, Theatre is more than just entertainment, primarily it
exists to help us better understand ourselves.
