Particular Theatre Company

Particular Theatre Company has now become The Bike Shed Theatre Company. It is based in Exeter and is dedicated to working with South West writers, actors and theatre professionals to showcase exciting new work from across the regions. The company is based at the Bike Shed Theatre.

Formed in 2007, the company's first production, The Bald Prima Donna, toured the south west in the April and May of that year. In 2009, the company expanded and refocussed on new writing, launching this project in September 2009 with Forsaken by Helen Davis. This was followed by productions of The Distance (by Craig Norman), Still (by Steve Lambert) and Beanfield (by Shaun McCarthy), all in 2010. Beanfield also transferred to The Tobacco Factory in Bristol.

The company is led by David Lockwood and Fin Irwin and produces ten in-house productions a year, at least half of which are brand new plays.
