About Us

The Lover (c) SG Halliday

Leaning House is an UK based theatre company. We aim to produce clear, uncluttered storytelling where characters come first. 

We love plays about twisted relationships and what happens behind closed doors, the social politics, cultural politics, and politics that make up the UK.
