Now in our 30th year, New Earth is the leading and longest-running British East and Southeast Asian (BESEA) touring theatre company in the UK. Our mission is to bring nuanced BESEA representation to the widest possible audience.

We achieve this through three strands of work:

We create nuanced BESEA stories and share them with the widest possible audience.

We provide free training and development opportunities for the next generation of BESEA leaders.

We create opportunities to consider BESEA experience outside of traditional theatre spaces.

Our 30th Anniversary Book is here!
