The Romany Theatre Company creates rich, powerful and inspirational theatre with truth and passion at its core. Playing to audiences around the world, RTC's work is rooted in Romany people, their culture and the centuries-old struggle for equality, with a strong emphasis on challenging negative views of Romany people and the lives they lead.

Through the Academy UK, RTC are equally committed to empowering young Romany people by involving them in theatre and performance, increasing their knowledge and awareness of their own culture, so creating pride in their heritage and a willingness to celebrate their identity. RTC is working towards setting up Academies in other European countries.

RTC's aim is to encourage Romany people to reach out and break down the barriers of ignorance and fear by engaging and educating the general public, and moving towards a positive relationship of confidence, trust and community cohesion.
