The Company

Divergent Theatre Collective is an exciting new theatre company based in London. It is a union of British and International theatre makers. The Collective believes in the power of collaboration. It fuses different creative individuals’ art form as the dynamic force, in developing innovative theatrical works and having fun in the process.

It is a 'development' theatre project documenting a migrant’s rite of passage. Devised by a group of creatives from diverse art forms, this is the first of a four part series which comments on contemporary social sensibilities and awareness.

I can have good money.
I can send good money.
I can find good money.

No more dried fish.
