Obscura Theatre

Obscura Theatre is writer, composer, and sound designer Patch Middleton, and director and producer Emily Oulton. Obscura is a North West based theatre company exploring folklore, the fantastical, and its relationship to land and local identity. In 2022, we were shortlisted for both the Untapped Award and the Pleasance Charlie Hartill Special Reserve. We have just launched the second chapter of our audio-walk series, soundlandscape, in collaboration with Ilkley Literature Festival and The Brontë Parsonage Museum.

We are also developing A Shanty for an Atomic Town, a new musical fusing sea shanties, maritime myth, and nuclear power. “A unique concoction of the uncanny...” - Creative Tourist
