Blue Orange Arts produces original theatre performed at the Blue Orange Theatre, 118 Great Hampton Street, Birmingham — and on tour, including at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Upcoming Productions
Being Frank
30th October – 7th November 2026, Blue Orange Theatre, Birmingham, B18 6AD.
Meet Frank.
A down on his luck research assistant with a boss demanding results.
His latest project – Reanimation!
When he bribes an old friend into faking a breakthrough, things begin to spiral – a threatening loan shark closes in, a mysterious femme fatale appears, and an electrical storm rolls in with some very unexpected side effects.
Being Frank is a fast-paced horror farce full of bad science and even worse decisions.
The Tell-Tale Heart & The Screaming Skull
Ghost Stories for Christmas — 11–23 December 2026, Blue Orange Theatre, Birmingham.
Edgar Allan Poe’s The Tell-Tale Heart plus The Screaming Skull.
