2004: Beginnings

It all started with Frank's writing Time After Time, which

led to its production in St. John's Church, in Frank's home city of Birmingham. This was under the banner of Heart Productions, with the help of the Actors Centre Birmingham and Stagecoach.

2011-2013: Blue Orange/Old Joint Stock

In 2011 operations moved back to Birmingham, and a close alliance

with the soon-to-be-opened Blue Orange Theatre, picking up again with Producer Mark Webster.

There we developed our Theatre workshops.

​

A call from the Old Joint Stock Theatre in the heart of Birmingham

led to a number of plays being produced there. In that time

we also headed the New Theatre Initiative and Theatre Exchange.

2014-2017: Jewellery Quarter

In 2014 we set up theWorkshop, a space in the Jewellery Quarter

dedicated to creating and workshopping new Theatre, resulting in a number of workshop and mainline productions.

​

Our next base was at St.Paul's Church, also in the Jewellery Quarter of

Birmingham. This led to the formation of the Theatre of the 

Quarter, and weekly Theatre sessions, out of which came

collaborative productions focused on Birmingham,

as part of our Brum Beats initiative.

​

The weekly sessions relocated to the Birmingham & Midland Institute

in the City Centre, along with further productions of new plays,

both in the city and, increasingly, in various festivals

throughout the country.

2018-Now: Audio

The next project was and still is, ArtsTransForm. This was set up with 2 close colleagues to explore new digital ways of presenting our work. We are currently experimenting with new forms of Theatre, both audio and visual. The collaborative nature of our work continues to

develop.

​

Most recently in 2020, our energies are focused on the launch of

Inamoment publishing, which will oversee the creation of playbooks

arising out of our previous play productions.

Frank is excited by all forms of new writing and the challenges that

is inspired by classical Theatre. For him, learning from the past, engaging with the here and now, and looking

forward to the future, are vital.
