The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company is a small, independent touring theatre company and a registered charity. Every year we create a new production and take it to communities across the South of England, performing in village greens, gardens and other outdoor spaces.

Ticket sales provide the majority of our income, but they don't cover the full cost of creating and touring our work. As a small company, every donation really does make a difference.

Your support helps us to create new productions, employ professional actors and creatives, maintain our costumes, sets and equipment, and continue bringing high-quality professional theatre to communities that might not otherwise have it on their doorstep.

There are two easy ways you can support us.

​

Make a Donation

​

If you've enjoyed seeing the Rudes, or simply believe in what we do, you can make a one-off or regular donation to support our work.

As a registered charity, every contribution — large or small — helps us continue creating and touring our productions.

​

​​​Wealden Community Lottery

​

You can also support us by playing the Wealden Community Lottery.

Tickets cost £1 and there are prizes to be won, including a weekly jackpot. A proportion of every ticket purchased through our page comes directly to The Rude Mechanical Theatre Company, providing us with valuable ongoing support.

Thank You

​

Whether you make a donation, buy a lottery ticket, come to see a show, recommend us to a friend or simply help spread the word, thank you for supporting The Rudes.

It is your continued support that allows us to keep making theatre and taking it on the road.
