The Danger Ensemble are an award winning contemporary and experimental theatre company steered by Steven Mitchell Wright (director/designer), Ben Hughes (lighting designer) and Chris Beckey (actor and writer) that formed in 2007, having worked around the world and having toured 16 different countries they now call Melbourne, Australia their home.

Pursuing an understanding of contemporary form and audiences their work has stretched the gamut from reinvented classics Macbeth and The Wizard of Oz, to live-art experiments We Will Not Kiss Touch Frighten You in the Dark, CALIGULA, and Day After Terrible Day to a punk-cabaret musical collaboration Who Killed Amanda Palmer and new works Songs of the Flesh, Loco Maricon Amor, Let Men Tremble and The Hamlet Apocalypse.

They are currently in development for new work Prophetx exploring the ancient myths around seer-cum-queer icon, Tiresias.
