About Us
Sharing. Creating. Inspiring.
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 one particular alternative way of going about things, centred around the work of Theatre Producer Frank Bramwell.
We hope your curiosity about our work helps bring about a new perspective on
the world about us, in a way that is both satisfying and exciting.

Our efforts are directed to re-energising Shakespeare, by being alternative.

we are now embracing the digital world:
Podcasting
Our existing and in-development play workshops captured
for broadcast in our fortnightly podcasts.
Videos
A world of immersive Theatre ready for the world of videos,
a world set in this world, yet not of this world

Audio Plays
As finances and time permit, we will stream our
plays as stand-alone audio pieces.
Our Backers
helping to make the unthinkable doable
Without our backers, we could not do what

our work with the wide world.
More than that, ultimately they are why we do what we do.
