06 / Our theatre
Close to the story.
Close to each other.
Cuefold is a small, independent theatre in Bridgnorth’s old assembly rooms. We believe a room full of people sharing a story is still a fairly remarkable thing.
A room with a new chapter
Once an assembly room.
Always a meeting place.
Our building has held dances, meetings, arguments and celebrations. We’ve kept the proportions, opened up the ground floor and given it a stage close enough to see a performer take a breath.
The programme mixes work made here with visiting performances that deserve a closer look. Some nights are funny. Some are challenging. All of them begin with the same question: what might happen if we pay attention?
Look inside the programmeThe people who open the doors
A small team, a shared purpose.
Audience & access
Melisande Alderton
Melisande looks after the welcome, from your first question to your journey home. She works with audiences to make practical improvements that last.
Production & participation
Anselm Trevaskis
Anselm makes things work on stage and brings people into the making. He runs our object-theatre sessions and has a healthy respect for a well-labelled cable.
Room for the unfamiliar
We leave space in the programme for first-time visitors and for work that doesn’t fit a neat description. Curiosity is a good enough reason to come.
Care is practical
Clear information, fairly priced tickets and a calm welcome matter. We listen to what makes a difference, and tell you honestly what we can offer.
Made with this place
Local people take part as audiences, volunteers, makers and partners. A small theatre is strongest when the town can recognise itself in the room.
