RAT

Response Ability Theatre makes socially conscious work to represent and support people experiencing, or at risk of experiencing, trauma. Our shows reflect contemporary experience in poetic ways, and we offer workshops to survivors and care providers for improved communicative confidence and general wellbeing.

It can be pretty difficult for any of us to feel human these days. With our deep-rooted structures of 'civilisation' constantly pitting us against each other, very few of us escape being made to feel like vermin at some point in our lives. And few of us can say we haven't done the same to others.


We tell stories of systemic exclusion with vivid attention to the impact it has on the human psyche. We see indignity and cruelty alike as symptoms of systemic failures of which we are all victims. We invite our audiences to recognise themselves and each other in the stories we tell, with humility, empathy, humour, and enthusiasm for the change we all can enact through collective awareness, forgiveness and kindness.

We aim for our audiences and participants who meet us feeling like rats, to leave us feeling that bit more human.

We rely on donations to make sure our regular offer for survivors can continue uninterrupted - which is so important for building trust, and creating the necessary safety for community cohesion and post-traumatic growth.

£10 a month funds one person's expenses for participating in our core group.

£25 a month pays for an hour of preparation or evaluation time, so we can dedicate the time our survivors deserve to making their time with us count.

£50 a month pays for an hour of session delivery for our lead facilitator or one of our welfare leads, so we can provide the support that allows for a truly brave space.

Or if you can't afford to donate right now, you could choose us as your supported charity on Give As You Live and raise funds for us when you shop with selected retailers, without any additional cost to you!

We are grateful for the support of our recent and current funders and supporters:
