ABOUT
We are CREAM-FACED LOONS THEATRE COMPANY, also known to our friends as THE LOONS!
We love delighting and entertaining audiences with our own unique brand of Shakespeare and Loons style
Since 2016 we’ve been performing in all kinds of places, from Castles to Theatres, Parks to Pubs, and even once under a Bridge! Our ethos is to bring live theatre to the masses in shows that are always
EXCITING ACCESSIBLE AFFORDABLE
We also create web series and other online content, run regular workshops and bring live theatre to schools and communities
“What I admire most is their belief in what they do, their desire to present Shakespeare in a different light, perhaps truer to the original, certainly more accessible. This is a company to look out for…”
MEET THE LOONS
HEAD LOON | Artistic Director
ABEY BRADBURY
Abey trained with Fourth Monkey Theatre Company, RTYDS and at The Globe Theatre in London. A mixture of seeing a lack of accessible and affordable Shakespeare, a love of exploring Manchester, and a fit of madness led Abey to launching Cream-Faced Loons in August 2016. A self-professed Shakespeare Nerd, she can often be found running around Manchester with Keith, a red nose and blueprint plans for world domination.
EXECUTIVE LOON | Producer
KEITH FLORENCE
Keith is a very experienced actor, first joining us as Yorick in Hamlet as part of The Mind Season. He has stayed on as part of the Loons Team, and can be found mostly behind the scenes now, as well as running Keith's Shakespeare Shop - although keep an eye out, as he loves to make a cameo.
Once a Loon…Always a Loon!
