Self-professed pop-culture fanatics, The People are fascinated by the collision of theatricality, mass-media and everyday life. Their work is shaped inextricably by the people involved and as such is always changing: it is formally experimental, personal, politically current, relatable and deeply moving.
The People was founded by visual director Katrina Cornwell and American born playwright Morgan Rose, who have a 13-year history of collaborative devising. Driven by a shared queer lens, The People deconstruct systems of power to expose the inner worlds of individuals, beckoning the audience to look within. The People make work with whoever is interested, whoever has something to say. In recent years they have presented a live episode of reality television on stage, The Bachelor S17E05, the award-nominated locked-down-extravaganza, A Disorganised Zoom Reading of the Script from Contagion, and a deconstruction of the romantic comedy, Grand Gesture.
