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.

 AlternativeShakespeare

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

We do this first by looking at his life, his works . . . and everything

that has happened since his death.

​

Then we look through the lens of his characters,

as adapted in the works of Frank Bramwell:

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 Books

Our plays published as play scripts as they come out of the workshops,

first on Amazon, and then on Audible as Audio Books,  

​

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

we do, for they are vital for sharing

our work with the wide world.

​

More than that, ultimately they are why we do what we do.
