Not Too Tame
Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama graduate, Jimmy Fairhurst, founded Not Too Tame - an award-winning theatre company producing shows steeped in working-class culture, and made by working-class artists.
Jimmy is a working-class actor, writer and director from Warrington. After graduating from RWCMD in 2011 with a BA in Acting, he went on to form Not Too Tame with a cohort of working-class artists.
His work focuses on audiences, specifically creating work that attracts, engages and entertains the working class and those who feel theatre isn’t for them.
“With the training I got and by creating my theatre company Not Too Tame, I’ve found a way to do two things. One is to create work for people who feel like theatre isn’t for them - whether that’s the art form or the building itself. The other is to show that it can be a viable career.”
