WorldStage21

A not-for profit, amateur audio theatre group for the 21st Century - Born out of the pandemic lockdowns in 2021.

In a previous incarnation as The Hope Theatre group (and earlier, St Mary's Youth Theatre Menston) and led by our Director Peter Gilbert we were frustrated in our plans to perform on stage, so moved to audio with a new name and our first Shakespeare adaptation - Troilus and Cressida.

We plan to add further Shakespeare plays in the coming years.
