FEAST Theatre Festival opens your eyes to new and emerging theatrical performances from across the globe. Curated by Reaction Theatre Makers, FEAST festival enters its 9 year in 2025, with events taking place in venues across Malvern between 8- 16 November.
The FEAST journey has taken theatre from Birmingham’s bold, risk-taking scene to The Vaults, Brighton and Edinburgh Fringe, and Stockton International Riverside Festival. FEAST will now bring inspiration from all of these places into FEAST, created to share with the Malvern community.
At its heart, FEAST is for everyone. Much of its work is about creating opportunities with people who have learning differences—welcoming them not only as audiences but as artists and collaborators. Inspired by these influences and this commitment to inclusivity, FEAST—Festival of Equality in Arts and Society through Theatre was created.
Hosted at the incredible Malvern Cube and now expanding into the town, FEAST is about gathering together to share performance, reflection, laughter—and the possibility for change.
There will be workshops for people who’d like to get involved. This year’s offerings include Complicité ‘…the most influential and consistently interesting theatre company working in Britain’
