Who We Are
Our theatre company was born from the frustration of being unheard voices in the room. The only way for our stories to have a platform was to create one ourselves. Scylla’s Bite works exclusively with women and non-binary creators; to give over the floor and create the opportunity to say what needs to be said.
We create truthful, feminist theatre that bites. We acknowledge those scary things held too tightly to our chests and make the world know them to. Now is the time to be unafraid, angry and relentless. It's time to face the monsters created. When we don’t talk about issues plainly and honestly, we remove the possibility for real social change.
Our mission is to springboard artists’ work by listening, teaching, empowering and encouraging. We will create a safe, accessible and diverse space that champions the voices of those who are often spoken over. We're making room and taking charge in all roles. Whether as directors, technical crew, designers, writers or performers - we belong in theatre..

We're in a book!
We were published in 'Feminist Theatre: Then & Now' by Aurora Metro. We answered questions about our practice, how we can continue making feminist theatre, and what intersectionality in practice looks like.
