The Company

Tymescythe Theatre Company works to produce theatre at the highest possible standards, combining volunteer and professional performers and crew. We are based in Chagford, Devon, within Dartmoor National Park.

Tymescythe Theatre Company was formed in the early 1990s. In 2015 a new run of productions began with Shakespeare’s The Tempest in St. Michael’s Church, Chagford. Special staging was introduced to transform the interior space, creating The Theatre in The Church. Recent productions have been in support of St. Michael’s Church.

The company currently draws on a wealth of talent from the South West but productions have benefited from contributors from all over Britain.

Theatre in the Church

Tymescythe Theatre Company has produced plays inside the Church of St. Michael the Archangel in Chagford since 2015.

During the run of a play, staging, lighting and sound transform the ancient and beautiful church into a unique, atmospheric space, a miniature version of an Elizabethan theatre. The central stage is framed by medieval granite pillars and the high wooden vault.
