About Drip Action

Founded in 1987 by Bill Brennan and Chris Warren-Adamson, Drip Action Theatre Company takes as its remit the production of new and lesser known work, often plays from Europe and USA, in an intimate space, and has to date staged well over 200 productions.

Home productions are performed in its studio theatre at The Victoria Club in Arundel, West Sussex, and, at midsummer, in the atmospheric Chapel Barn in South Stoke.

The company has toured to venues in the south of England and London, including schools and colleges, restaurants and bars - and HM Prison Ford. Its European connection has resulted in its own translations and premières of French, German and Italian plays, and performances by invitation in France.

Drip Action was awarded charitable status in 1995 for its staging of innovative and educational theatre.

In 2001, the company created The Arundel Theatre Trail for the town's annual summer festival, when, each day, eight different half-hour plays are staged consecutively at different venues in the town, in all a grand total of sixty-four performances.

The company invites and hosts plays from similarly progressive, small-scale companies.

Other adventures have included the Arundel Festival Series of River Plays, where audiences afloat watched performances on and by the river Arun.
