Milk + Mallet CREATES BOLD NEW WORK THAT playfully engages with the limitations of making theatre at a grass roots level, and pushes the boundaries of theatrical form to express human stories in unexpected, impactful ways.
Abbey Gillett + Elsa Strachan met whilst working on Stray Dogs at Theatre503, a bold, ambitious, big-swing of a show for a prominent but small Fringe theatre space.
Forged by this experience, they continued to collaborate creatively from the ground up, focusing on new writing and working largely with other emerging talent.
Influenced by their upbringings in rural areas (Abbey in the Misbourne Valley & Elsa in the Scottish Highlands) they create theatrical worlds with a heightened sense of place, exploring the influence this has on the character’s perspectives and the audience’s imaginations.
