We write and produce all of our plays ourselves to ensure that they directly support the National Curriculum, are fun and original and that they meet our high standards.
Each of our plays springs to life through vibrant characters and engaging stories, interactive discussion and drama workshops and has a huge effect on pupil interaction, engagement with the topic and ongoing attainment.
Whether you're looking for fun Fairy Tales, interactive KS2 History plays, Numeracy, Literacy, Science shows or Christmas productions, then Hobgoblin is the Theatre in Education company for you!
Hobgoblin Theatre Company is firmly established as one of the UK's best touring theatre in education companies. We are committed to bringing entertaining and original educational theatre into your school - we tour nationally so take a look at our shows to see what we can bring to YOUR school to enhance your curriculum.
With decades of combined experience of Theatre in Education and Drama we are perfectly placed to deliver effective and inspirational shows and workshops for your children.

Best Christmas Ever!
Don’t let Covid-19 ruin your school’s Christmas theatre experience this December.
If you can’t have a live theatre company visit your school this Christmas then we have the answer! A 60 minute digital show loosely based on A Christmas Carol, written specifically for these dark and difficult times to cheer us all up and bring some Christmas smiles into your school.
This film has all the usual Hobgoblin fun, energy and silliness and is fantastic value at just 50p per head! Click HERE for more information.
Here's some lovely feedback that we got earlier THIS WEEK...
"Thank you for performing to our Yr3/4 children in such strange circumstances!
The show was adapted to be socially distanced but the content and quality were not compromised at all.
Thank you!"
The John Bamford School
WE CAN MAKE LIVE VISITS WORK!
