strange bedfellows


Strange Bedfellows is a ragbag collective of actors, musicians and comedians.



..."moments of genius"
The Stage


We make theatre by cooking with opposites. Comedy and tragedy, polish and improvisation, classical and contemporary, tenderness and rage.

We develop our work through residencies in theatres, in schools and online. We run extensive exploratory and skill-share workshops as part of our process. Our rehearsal room is about as open as you can get. If you want to drop in, or attend a workshop, contact us.

Our next production is Shakespeare's Clown – follow the link for more information.

We are:

Daniel Bye (director)
Nick Jesper (performer, Can of Worms)
Jack Merivale (performer, Shakespeare's Clown)
Paul Mundell (performer, Can of Worms,Shakespeare's Clown)
Dan Snelgrove (performer, Shakespeare's Clown)
