Frantic Assembly

Frantic Assembly is a theatre production company. They have worked in over 40 countries and are widely studied as practitioners for A-Levels in the UK.

Background
Frantic Assembly was formed by three students of Swansea University in 1994. None of the three studied drama but were inspired by theatre and wanted to create their own unique company. They wanted to create non-realistic pieces through much movement and music, although they have always said this should never stray from the storyline.

Their most notable production, in cooperation with The National Theatre, is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, which won a Tony award for Best Play in 2015. In 2016, Frantic Assembly collaborated with State Theatre South Australia and Andrew Bovell to create Things I Know To Be True. They toured Australia (2016) and the UK (2016 and 2017).

In 2018, Frantic Assembly launched a podcast with guest appearances from old-school teachers of Scott Graham, Simon Stephens and Karl Hyde from Underworld.
