Who We Are
Grassmarket Project is a theatre company where the issues of social exclusion and social justice are crucial to the artistic process and its product. It aims to achieve a particularly raw kind of authenticity, where people speak their own truths in their own voices.
The impact of our work has been attested to ever since the initial GMP production of Glad in 1991, by participants, by audiences, by critics - and by artists such as the late Sarah Kane, who wrote:
It changed my life because it changed the way I think, the way I behave. If theatre can change lives, then it can change society.
Sara Kane on MAD from the book "In Yer Face Theatre"
Mission Statement
To encourage the development of creative potential.
Philosophy
"For me, theatre is an art form which when combining the raw
truth of life with technical excellence, can form the basis
of powerful theatre."
Jeremy Weller / Artistic Director
