ABOUT
ET TU, MATE?
PurpleDoor believe that classical theatre is for everyone, and that by reclaiming it with fun and heart we can find ways to understand our place in the world and our responsibility to be a part of it. For over fifteen years we have championed undiscovered talent and re-imagined what theatre should sound like and who it should be for. Come and be a part of it.
