About Ankle Productions:
Ankle is a production company focused on delivering sensitive, insightful and unpretentious theatre. We focus on understanding and enjoyment, for all involved, from actor through to audience.
We handle all aspects of our shows, including writing, directing, producing and publicity. Our group of talented friends and co-workers allows for this and we are always looking for new talents or businesses to work with.
Our catalogue of work reflects what interests us most about the theatre: its flexibility, the unique way in which it allows for audience interaction and the thrill of live theatre performance. The specific plays we have chosen to produce are ones that we feel reflect this interest.
