Rogue Theatre is committed to creating daring high quality theatre which is as accessible as it is thrilling.
Founded in 2005 by Angelina Boscarelli and Ollie Oakenshield Rogue Theatre has developed a distinctive style which mixes spectacle and a strong visual style with powerful narrative and moments of high pathos.
Having travelled internationally with the Circus Angelina, Artistic Director brings to the work a discipline and a sense of danger. With a committed and highly talented team of actors, musician, designers, writer and associate artists we mix a rigorous work ethic with instinct, passion, playfulness, humour, daring, ambition and aspiration.
We draw inspiration from the world and listening to peoples stories, mixing in our work reality and the imagination.
Angelina Boscarelli is both Artistic Director
of Rogue Theatre and the director of the Wonder
Show. She has an anarchic approach to theatre
and skillfully blends spectacle, powerful
narrative and danger in her work. Madame
Lucinda’s Wonder Show is inspired by the
characters she has met and the places she has
lived around the world.

“Come look behind my curtains. See the players in my circus. The lost, The forgotten, The misbegotten. The laughed at and The not laughed at enough. And let me just say ladies and gentlemen. That I still have a few vacancies. And I can spot the talent amongst you. Contracts are waiting to be signed. Across my dotted lines. "
