Frantic Assembly


Frantic Assembly is a theatre production company. They have worked in around 30 countries and are widely studied as practitioners for A-Levels in the UK.

Background

Frantic Assembly was formed in 1994 by Scott Graham, Steven Hoggett and Vicki Middleton, students from Swansea University. None of the three studied drama or any of the arts, but were inspired by theatre and wanted to create their own unique company. They wanted to create non-realistic pieces through the use of much movement and music, although they have always said that this should never stray away from the storyline.
Their most notable production, in co-operation with The National Theatre, is The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Night-Time, which won a Tony award for Best Play in 2016. In 2016, Frantic Assembly collaborated with State Theatre South Australia and Andrew Bovell to create Things I Know To Be True. This toured both Australia and the UK.
In 2018, Frantic Assembly launched a podcast, which has had guest appearances from old school teachers of Scott Graham, Simon Stephens and Karl Hyde from Underworld.
