The Company
Mooted Theatre Co. was founded in the winter of 2007 in the historical city of York by director and producer Mark France.
Mooted’s previous productions - A LIFE IN THE THEATRE by David Mamet, 'TIS PITY SHE'S A WHORE by John Ford and THE TAMING OF THE SHREW by William Shakespeare have toured Yorkshire to sell-out houses and critical acclaim.
"Mooted's most visually pleasing play to date... a fast, physical comedy... This is a wildly successful Taming Of The Shrew!"– The Press, York.
“Mooted’s production hits home strongly...there is plenty of life in this theatre” – The Press, York.
“The Mooted Theatre Co. open with a confident
and well-crafted debut...their future is only to be anticipated.”
