The Arts are like breathing they are essential to life One of the UK’s most versatile and inventive outdoor arts companies, Desperate Men’s mischievous, warmhearted work invites audiences to ask serious questions about the world. They have been welcoming people to play and collaborate with them for over 35 years, creating, performing and producing ground-breaking outdoor theatre in the UK and internationally. “ There is an immediacy and intimacy with outdoor audiences in sharing a space and time where many things are beyond our control - who will come, who will stay and watch - the audience and the weather controls the space, so there are surprises waiting to happen all the time. This is what makes it exciting. babbling ” Jon Beedell bub bling www.desperatemen.com
