About Us

FOLKS Theatre, formed by - Max & Holly - two siblings who are queer and neurodivergent creatives from Brighton with a passion for empirical stories that celebrate differences and work with a human-centric approach. Magical realism thrums through our work, with references to myths and legends from around the globe, to create allegorical projects. Our process holds the value of people and strives for accessibility. We use where we have been and what we know to create authentic work.

OUR show for brighton fringe 2026!

'Fate train' asks us to deliberate over fate vs. free will. We follow the character of dawn as she meets the norns after the loss of her partner.
