Good Old Neon creates theatre from an experimental, ensemble-driven process. We aim to produce theatre that invokes shock, laughter, inquisition and visceral responses from within our audiences. The form our work takes emerges from a sense of play: traditional narrative structures, contemporary themes and ideas encapsulating the worldly, the absurd and the deeply personal are reassembled and presented as novel, entertaining and vividly challenging theatrical experiences.
