Without a Paddle is an award-winning new writing theatre company and theatrical network providing support for actors and writers.

As theatremakers we are passionate about finding the extraordinary in the ordinary, and discovering what goes on behind closed doors. Committed to telling stories imaginatively and with impact, raising ideas and making theatre open for all. Without a Paddle aims to draw people in with work they can identify with. Interested in vulnerability, compulsions, obsessions and earth shattering events, whether they be epic and political, or intimate and personal. Seeking to enthuse rather than educate, and spark ideas rather than send messages, Without a Paddle is committed to creating theatre which is honest, invigorating, exciting and raw.  

As a theatrical network we provide various free services to make the lives of actors and writers easier, and run inspiring workshops and courses.

Awards to date include Best New Writing Award at the Lost Festival for Just For Fun - Totally Random by Anna Jordan, and overall winner at the Off Cut Festival (Old Red Lion) for Closer To God, which also won the Audience Award.
