The Spaniel In The
Works Theatre Company was
formed in 2000, by six performers/writers with a wealth of
experience in different areas of theatre. The aim of the
Spaniels is to attract an audience who would not regularly
go to the theatre, bringing good quality theatrical
entertainment to as wide an audience as possible.
Since 2003,
Spaniel In The Works has developed a unique training style,
creating day long performance based events to train
professionals from social services, health care, the police
and youth offending teams. With a strong
background in museum theatre, Spaniel In The Works work for
a number of museums including the Victoria and Albert
Museum, National Portrait Gallery, The Wallace Collection,
Bank of England museum, Apsley House and Stroud Museum In
The Park.
