UK-based theatre company, committed to the idea of theatre as an event. Named to the 2007 Guardian newspaper "pick of the Year", Hydrocracker wants more for its audiences than to sit in the dark and watch. Our work is “an alliance between formal experiment and rich content” (Michael Billington, The Guardian). It ranges from the site specific to the intimate. We want our audiences to have a visceral experience of other worlds, of stories that challenge beliefs and set imaginations alight.
