​Silent Uproar is a Hull-based theatre company with a simple mission statement: ​Silent Uproar creates playful and provocative new work by telling the stories that will make the world a little less shit. We are inspired by films, comic books, and video games.

Our work is both playful and provocative. We believe people should be challenged but also entertained, so our productions find the most playful and engaging methods to start conversations about some of the most uncomfortable and provocative issues within our society. We believe that you don't have to be 'serious' to say something 'serious'. With this we find the best ways to tell the stories we create, sometimes this means we create work in theatres, sometimes in pubs, sometimes in clubs (we were in charge of a nightclub once- it was ace).

​The company does not work in a particular style, we experiment with the different ways you can tell a story by mixing new writing with devising. Our work is inspired by pop culture especially by cinema, television, comic books, stand up comedy, and video games (gaming culture in general). The company creates work as an continually changing ensemble working with new writers, musicians, technicians, and artists to create bold and innovative new work.
