The Nuffield Theatre: Vision

 

The Nuffield’s vision is to produce theatre that is intelligent, emotionally perceptive, light on its feet, contemporary in style, and as enlivening as possible for a wide audience. We will encourage artists and other people to develop so they may express and/or enjoy this vision.

 

The Company produces and presents work for adults and children, on varying scales, in the main house, in the studio and on tour to theatres, schools and other non theatre spaces.


Nuffield Southampton is supported by Arts Council South East, Southampton City Council, University of Southampton, Hampshire County Council & Portsmouth City Council, Medhurst, Arts and Business.
