Tiebreak was run by an administrative team of three, employing freelance actors, writers, composers, designers and other artists to produce theatre productions and workshops for young people and their families.
Tiebreak received commissions from such prestigious agencies as the Natural History Museum, London, Forest Enterprise and The National Trust.
The company was known for its innovative approach to a wide range of work including live music theatre, new writing commissions, participatory projects and issue-based plays.
Most of the company's last productions were written by Artistic Director David Farmer, who left to pursue a freelance career in writing, teaching and directing.
