Dark Horse premier bold, innovative and original work made by actors with learning disabilities

05/11/2026

Making a show takes ages...

But that's exactly how we make sure that we're creating something that feels authentic to us, in an environment where our actors feel supported.

This is why representation matters to us…

It’s not just about showing other people what our actors can do, it’s about our actors growing and developing and creatives and performers.

Let's talk costume 👗

We wanted the costumes for our show We're in Love (actually) to give us the 90s/00s vibes we were craving, whilst meeting our accessibility and sustainability needs. Here are a few of the ways we made that possible:

It's a set shout out!

From a sketch made by our Artistic Director on a piece of paper to a performance ready piece - our We're in Love (actually) set has been through many eras.

For a small set we had some big requirements. We needed it to be a video store with a garden and a DJ booth, have hidden screens for projection, and it had to be accessible for our cast of learning-disabled actors. Luckily, designer Lu Herbert came in with some great ideas about how we could make it all possible!

What an amazing journey we've been on, celebrating love in all its forms. Huge congratulations to the cast, crew, and creatives who brought this heartwarming romcom to the stage.

Remember... If you look for it, we've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around ❤
