Our Current Production
Samson and Delilah
St Mawes 27th – cancelled due to weather. Refunds will be given.
Touring from Mousehole to St Mawes this September!
The Killigrew’s are up to their usual devious ways in Falmouth and Queen Elizabeth is not at all happy. Sir Francis Godolphin is fighting the Spanish in Penzance and is not at all happy. Blissfully unaware and occasionally happy, the Tudor players of Penryn are staging ‘Samson & Delilah.’
‘Samson and Delilah’ is a fun, historical drama set during the backdrop of the Spanish Armada. The tour travels along Cornish coastal communities – from Mousehole to Penryn – where the Cornish and Spanish finally meet. Two worlds are about to collide both on and off the stage!

Company History
Collective Arts Ltd. began life as The Cornish Theatre Collective.
The company was founded by visionary director Dominic Knutton. He was a highly respected all-rounder in the world of theatre, directing productions throughout the UK. Although he had great success touring a wide variety of plays, his greatest achievements will probably be the UK premiere and five subsequent tours of Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, and directing the Ordinalia Miracle play cycles in St Just-in-Penwith between 2000-2004.
Phil Innes took over the reins following Dom’s death, and Jason Squibb is now the current Artistic Director.
