The Pentabus Experiment (or Concept as it was initially known) was formed in 1973.

The company originally toured new plays to five counties in the West Midlands, hence PENTA (five) on a bus. The work in those early years played in wide variety of venues including village halls, schools, pubs and numerous outdoor locations. As time went on the company extended their reach to include national and international projects and began eliciting the attention of the national press and collecting awards.

In the recent times Pentabus Theatre has continued to pioneer engaging, surprising and provocative new work. Our output can only be categorised by its variety of approach, scale of ambition and determination to connect directly with people and place. It is always collaboration with writers, artists and audiences that inspires us.
