To inspire and challenge people with a passion for theatre at every stage of their development.
The Discarded Nut Theatre Company Description
The Discarded Nut Theatre Company is run by the highly experienced duo: Noël Jones and Harriet Morris. Discarded Nut is based in Winchester, but regularly travels across Hampshire with their original brand of theatrical work.
With the emphasis on having fun, inspiring people and creating innovative high quality experiences in whatever we undertake, Discarded Nut offers a great range of opportunities for young people to get involved in drama and music workshops, projects and productions and experience first-hand what it is like to work with a professional theatre company.
Using theatre games, improvisation, devising, and other drama techniques to build inclusive companies of unique, confident and talented people, our work embraces a diverse range of themes from exploring personal and social issues to historical and educational topics. In addition, we aim to reawaken people’s love of classic texts through new adaptations, new writing and new music.
Finally, we offer newly-qualified arts practitioners the chance of their first professional engagement.
