Look Left Look Right takes its inspiration from ordinary and extraordinary places, people and real-life events to vividly recreate experiences and memories in a unique theatrical medium.

Site-specific, and often intimate, audience members play their part in our work as much as the voices of the people we have met. This blend of truth and fiction, reality and fantasy, creates worlds of infinite possibility. Often Surprising, always memorable.

Look Left Look Right is an award winning site-specific theatre company making vivid, dynamic, and interactive theatre inspired by and about the contemporary world. Since being founded in 2005 by Artistic Director Mimi Poskitt, the company has received funding from Arts Council England, successfully toured their work nationally and won two Fringe First Awards (The Caravan, 2008 and You Once Said Yes, 2011) and a Total Theatre Award for Innovation and Experimentation (You Once Said Yes, 2011). The company has co-produced with The Royal Court, The Roundhouse, West Yorkshire Playhouse, The BAC, Plymouth Theatre Royal and Southampton Nuffield. Their objective is to create intimate, poignant, truthful and relevant storytelling that gives the audience a whole new experience. Most recently LLLR created a series of site-specific performances for Cityread London in various locations all inspired by Louisa Young’s novel, My Dear I Wanted to Tell You marking the centenary of the outbreak of the First World War. These poignant evens took place in iconic locations such as The National Portrait Gallery, Soho Theatre, Hyde Park and St Pancras International Station. Previously as Artist in Residence at Corinthia Hotel, London, the company produced the critically successful Above and Beyond. Over a period of 4 months LLLR created a one-on-one theatrical experience within the walls of the working hotel.
