Our philosophy for producing children’s theatre is this: Make an excellent piece of theatre, then write “for children” on the poster.

Teatro-Saurus is an Oxford-based company that produces and tours high quality masked theatre and workshops for children.

Following our debut production of Volpone in 2005 , we have produced new writing and company devised pieces, across the UK, at various venues and theatre and comedy festivals.

The core members of the company are:

William Tombs: Mask-maker and Artistic Director. Currently playing Chester Pocklington, The Piggy-Bank, and Tom Redfern in OOK! And the Terrible Thing that Happened. He also plays the Ukulele, and is the writer and performer of two previous one-man show. One of which, What the Lobster Shouted as it Boiled,was described in a review in My Cultural Life as: an  “amazing one-man show.” and “a theatrical coup.”

Rachel Alexander: Studied European Theatre Arts at Rose Bruford College of Speech and Drama and has worked extensively in the UK and in Europe. Notable credits include Luhdahl & Seitl’s Symphony of a Missing Room (winner of the Stockholm Prize 2009), Caravan of Desires with Spiral Flight, and Labyrinthine with Pant’s on Fire. in OOK!
