EDUCATION
Bedlam began very quickly to
develop a strong educational strand within its output. The company provides a year-round programme of workshops in a
wide variety of techniques and skills. Workshops are provided for schools
and colleges, mainstream and special needs, young people and adults.
Regular clients involve jobseekers' groups and mental health charities. In addition to this, the company
provides two weekly Bedlam Youth Theatres, at Penrice
Community College, St. Austell every Saturday and The Public Rooms, Bodmin on Mondays.
See Youth Theatres.

has a strong history of large community projects, including direction of a
mummers play, Bells Ring Backwards, and The Torbay Millennium Pageant.
Rory Wilton also worked as production manager for the Ordinalia project
for many years. The
company is very interested in developing this area of work further.
