Music

We incorporate music into our work wherever possible – choral, instrumental, orchestral, folk, classical, jazz, banjos, ukuleles, euphoniums, pianos, strings, a capella – and many Desperate Men shows feature original soundtracks by our musical director Shirley Pegna.

About Desperate Men

Desperate Men have been inviting people to play for over 43 years, creating, performing and producing ground-breaking outdoor theatre in the UK and internationally. As creative producers, we work on large-scale outdoor art projects and collaborate with other partners and arts organisations. We also create bespoke performances, street animations and education projects on commission and still find time for our own creative work. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do, from working with local authorities to engage communities to setting up partnerships with other artists.
