Our Mission

WORDTheatreUK is a charitable organisation on a mission to foster a love of language and literature by harnessing the power of the oral storytelling tradition. We aim to  inspire both student and adult audiences with performances by esteemed actors and musicians that bring to life compelling stories by renowned authors. Reflecting the colorful, complicated and fascinating world we live in, curated events invite people to “step into the story” and walk for a time in another person’s shoes.  Connecting people across the globe by engendering feelings of empathy and compassion for others, we aim to make a better world one story at a time.
