Why 'Theatre Mab Town Hall'?
The "Town Hall" side of things is the pragmatic part of this company’s world: “The News,” “History,” “Life as we know it.” Town Hall is a style. It is theatre as idea and place - mind and matter - space in which to form new thoughts, collective and personal.
**
The 'Theatre Mab' side of things is the fantastic world we long to know – the magic of A Midsummer Night’s Dream, the span of human emotion. It is derived from Mercutio’s speech on Queen Mab in Romeo and Juliet.

Artistic Manifesto
Theatre Mab Town Hall is a theatre company composed of magicians & musicians, intellects & enigmas.
Success is not always certain, but results are rarely disappointing.
Temper affections. Sorrow is necessary. Do not forget the past, but do move forward. Evolve. Generate. Endure.
**
Theatre Mab is theatre of living. It examines the spoken and unspoken texts of living creatures, both solitary and social.
It investigates new ways of engaging with audiences old and new, cutting to the chase and bringing immediate theatre to the streets as well as the playhouse.
**
Town Hall is a style. It is simultaneously theatrical and educational - as tangible, unpredictable, magical, and absurd as reality itself. It is theatre as idea and place – mind and matter – space in which to form new thoughts, and to live, for a few hours, in wonder.
