Who We Are

Shadow Road Productions  is a tiny theatre company based in South West London, with both a long track record of staging productions on behalf of various charities and good causes, and an enduring concern with the issues surrounding mental health.   Given that concern with the vital issue of mental health, we were always hopeful that UNBROKEN 2016 would be the first of many festivals – and we are delighted that that has, so far, proven to be the case!

We are often asked how people can help us with our work on the festival and where they can donate.  The answer is here – on our new UNBROKEN fundraising page.  We are committed to continuing to raise awareness, to explore the issues, and – where possible – to offer help, through our work in the arts & in the theatre in particular, but we would not be able to do any of this without the help of our audiences & supporters.  Any donation,  however big or small, would be most gratefully received & we look forward to seeing you in the audience at UNBROKEN’s future events so that you can see what we have been able to do as a result. 

Thank you & see you soon!
