About

Told by an Idiot was founded in 1993 by Hayley Carmichael, Paul Hunter and John Wright. Since the company’s first production, On the Verge of Exploding, at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the company has built up an enviable reputation producing work that is moving, comic and utterly theatrical.

Recent productions include: And The Horse You Rode In On (Drum Theatre Plymouth/Barbican/Brighton Festival); The Comedy Of Errors (RSC); The Dark Philosophers (National Theatre Wales); Six Seeds (National Theatre) Casanova (Lyric Hammersmith/West Yorkshire Playhouse).
