What Spanner do


Spanner is a portable performance duo who create theatre about real life.

Spanner work closely with Schools, colleges and community groups offering integarted performances and workshops which aim to help participants express themselves and engage creatively with the world around them.

Spanner are committed to making theatre accessible for people who are not catered for by mainstream theatre

We perform in a variety of settings from pubs to in the middle of a field providing there is enough room to throw eachother around and people there to watch it
