Mashi Theatre shares stories for the child in all of us. Mashi is the keeper of stories, teller of tales, a playmaker and confidante. In the Asian culture a Mashi is comparable to the western aunty, not necessarily a blood relative but someone who assumes the role. Mashi Theatre’s vision is to reawaken stories seeped in culture and hand them down to a new generation.

Mashi Theatre was formed by Creative Director Trina Haldar. Mashi works with a core collective of freelance writers, musicians, designers, puppeteers, illustrators and collaborators passionate about creating quality art.

Mashi Theatre are currently a Breakthrough company at Curve Theatre and Creative Director Trina Haldar is a Step Change participant at the National Theatre.

Previous collaborators and partners include: The Spark Arts for Children Curve Theatre, Tara Arts, Big Difference Company, Speakeasy Theatre Company, Dragon Breath Theatre, Nottingham Asian Arts Agency, An Indian Summer, Bristol Asian Arts Agency, Arun Ghosh, Sue Pyecroft, Sayan Kent, Shobu Kapoor, Adel Al-Salloum.
