A brief history

Our first production was Dev's Army by Stuart D Lee. It opened in Manchester in June 2011 going on to the Buxton Fringe Festival and Preston Tringe Festival. In this first tour it won the Large Manchester award and the Best New Writing at the Buxton Fringe Festival where it was also nominated for best Production along with some fantastic reviews. The show toured the UK in 2012 - Manchester, Oxford, London, Liverpool and Buxton in June/July of this year. Click here for more info

Next we presented the first in our regular events of short film screening - Elysion Short Film Corner. The next is due in May this year. Click here for more info

We then presented Embrace All - an installation piece at Islington Mill. More info coming soon

Our next theatre production was the North West tour of A Light In Every Wndow and Hope In Boxes by Nicola Schofield. Presented as a double bill they opened to a sell out audience at The Lowry going on to The Lantern Theatre (Liverpool), The Pavilion Arts Centre (Buxton), The Square Chapel (Halifax), On The Fringe (Preston) and The Kings Arms (Salford).

What the industry thinks

***** This play is absolutely, utterly amazing and you really don’t have to know your stuff to be lured into its intense charm. If you don’t think this is for you, you’re wrong. (Large Manchester)

A classy example of how a one-act, four hander play, lasting just 60 minutes, can hold an audience in the palm of its small-scale hand. Imagine Dad’s Army on a sortie into Father Ted territory (Manchester Theatre Awards)

***** It’s a breathtaking debut from Elysion Productions, who I’m sure are destined to take this play further, don’t miss the chance to see it in this wonderfully intimate venue. (Fringe Guru)

Both these plays were enjoyable, and the cast were absolutely amazing. (Public Reviews)

A night of intense drama. (Remotegoat)

What our audiences think

***** Absolutely brilliant. We happened upon it but was best play I have seen in years 

Beautiful, thought provoking, emotional

I really didn’t realise that I’d find so much pain and sadness there. Now I think that people can feel better now that have some kind of liberty. Thanks.

Really emotional journey. Amazing concept. 5/5 

Would have paid £10 just to see 1 of the shows. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
