“It is theatre that is completely honest, alive and it is rooted in the beautiful world and language of Shakespeare. A universal language that is spoken through the body and soul as much as it is with words.”

“Flute Theatre to me is what theatre truly is all about, creating and sharing stories that speak to the heart of the people no matter who or where they are. They make theatre that is inclusive for everyone. The work they do is incredibly important and vital not just for those with autism and their families, but for all of us“

An inspirational company to work with that has made me look at Shakespeare's work differently! Flute has heart at the centre of everything it does and I feel very privileged to be the lighting designer for their work

Working with Flute Theatre is like being immersed in one of my favourite cartoons. It's fun, colourful, joyful and heartwarming! The soft explosion of songs, dance and theatre makes one forget all their worries no matter their age, while remembering the very essence of play. I'm so happy I get to work with a bunch of amazing artists that have so much energy and love for their craft!

Working with Flute Theatre has been an absolute joy. The work is beautiful and the individuals and families we get to meet and work with are even more extraordinary.

The work of Flute is soulful, transformative and unique. I am very proud to be part of it

Flute theatre to me is community, compassion and joy. It’s a safe space that welcomes all. A place to exist without judgment. It’s a microcosm of how society should aspire to be. It’s an absolute pleasure to be apart of this wonderful family.

The people and families we have met through working with Flute are so open-hearted and full of joy. Each session is completely unique to who we have in the room, creating a space where true response to the individual can exist.

“Working with flute theatre has been a great adventure. The cast has been fun and absolutely amazing to work with. I have never experienced particular type of games with Shakespeare. One of my favourite plays that I enjoyed doing with flute theatre was 'Pericles Prince of Tyre.' 'Pericles! Oh, my heart, Oh my head!'“

“Gabriel's work with Flute has been transformative for all of us. Playing with Shakespeare has given us a shared language and opened a door to a new world. (Robert Shaughnessy. Gabriel's father)“

The breadth and fearlessness of Flute’s work is inspiring. I feel very lucky to be working with this company and love how instinctively we create together.
