refugees take centre stage

Phosphoros Theatre was founded in 2015 and is an award-winning, industry-leading company, focused on amplifying refugee voices and bringing them to the main stage. We make socially engaged performance with, for, and by refugees and asylum seekers. We make and hold space for those with forced migration backgrounds to voice, reflect on and respond to their lived experience, taking charge of the narratives that seldom include their perspective. We create nationally touring productions, deliver one-off and regular arts work with refugees, train professionals and provide paid work, training and development opportunities for refugee artists and youth workers. 

Our fourth show All the beds I have slept in toured the UK in Autumn 2022 and finished in February 2023. Our new show ‘Tender’ is in rehearsal and will be touring in 2024. Our Phosphoros Young Company for young refugees and asylum-seekers aged 16-21 year olds runs weekly. Phosphoros Sisters, is for refugee and-seeking women and girls. We are officially recognised as a Theatre Company of Sanctuary by City of Sanctuary.
